Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Back flow into the left atrium would be caused by a faulty (not working properly) valve; which one?
A
aortic semilunar
B
pulmonary semilunar
C
tricuspid
D
bicuspid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In aortic valve regurgitation, the aortic valve doesn’t close properly, causing blood to flow backward from the body’s main artery (aorta) into the lower left heart chamber (left ventricle).

Detailed explanation-2: -Bicuspid Aortic Valve Symptoms Those symptoms may include: Chest pain: Discomfort and tightness are often associated with aortic stenosis. Fatigue: Increased activity may leave you feeling tired and weak. Shortness of breath: Sudden trouble breathing during physical exertion is the main symptom of aortic regurgitation.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the ventricular walls contract (specifically, the walls of the left ventricle), the bicuspid/mitral valve closes to prevent blood from flowing into the left ventricle from the left atrium, when the left ventricle relaxes, the bicuspid valve opens to allow blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle.
