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: -12. Aortic valve: Allows blood to pass from the left ventricle to the aorta; prevents backflow of blood into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The tricuspid valve separates the right upper chamber (the right atrium) and the right lower chamber (the right ventricle) of the heart. In a normal heart, the tricuspid valve closes completely when the right ventricle squeezes to push blood to the lungs, to prevent blood from going backward.
