Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which valve prevents blood flowing back into the right atrium from the ventricle.
A
Semi-lunar pulmonary valve
B
Semi-lunar aortic valve
C
Bicuspid valve
D
Tricuspid valve
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Separates the top right chamber (right atrium) from the bottom right chamber (right ventricle). Opens to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. Prevents the back flow of blood from the right ventricle to the right atrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tricuspid valve: This valve has three leaflets. They allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. They also prevent blood from flowing backward from the right ventricle to the right atrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tricuspid heart valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle and allows deoxygenated blood to flow between them. Once blood has cycled through the body, it is returned to the right atrium, which is located on the right side of the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tricuspid valve prevents backflow from the right ventricle into the right atrium. The bicuspid valve prevents backflow from the left ventricle into the left atrium. The semilunar valves prevent backflow into the ventricles from the aorta and pulmonary arteries.
