B
keep the blood moving through the heart in the opposite direction
C
keep the blood moving through the heart in the left diffraction
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The valves prevent blood from flowing backward. The heart has four valves. The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle. The mitral valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heart valves are parts of your heart that act like doors. They open and close to let blood flow from one area of your heart to another. They help ensure that blood moves at the right time and in the correct direction. As the valves open and close, they create two sounds, which are your heartbeat.
