Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Does closed Pulmonary & Aortic Valve keep blood from flowing back into the left ventricle?
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The pulmonary valve prevents blood from going backward from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle. Mitral valve: This valve has two leaflets. They allow blood to flow from the lungs into the left atrium. And they prevent backward flow from the left ventricle to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitral Valve Prevents the back flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Blood passes through a valve before leaving each chamber of the heart. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. Valves are actually flaps (leaflets) that act as one-way inlets for blood coming into a ventricle and one-way outlets for blood leaving a ventricle.
