Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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. Normal valves have 3 flaps (leaflets), except the mitral valve. It only has 2 flaps.
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. Pulmonary valve: This valve also has three leaflets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary Valve (or Pulmonic Valve) Has three leaflets. Separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery.
