Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What the function of Tricuspid Valve?
A
blood flows into the left atrium
B
to prevent backflow of blood into the right atrium
C
blood flows into the right atrium
D
prevents back flows of blood into the left atrium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The tricuspid valve ensures that blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle. It also prevents blood from flowing backward between those two chambers. When the right atrium fills, the tricuspid valve opens, letting blood into the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The tricuspid valve functions as a one-way valve that closes during ventricular systole to prevent regurgitation of blood from the right ventricle back into the right atrium. It opens during ventricular diastole, allowing blood to flow from the right atrium into the right ventricle.
