Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What’s the role of Tricuspid valve?
A
Closed right ventricle, open top right ventricle to prevent blood from flowing back into atrium
B
Closed right atrium, open top right atrium to prevent blood from flowing back into atrium
C
Open right ventricle, closed top right ventricle to prevent blood from flowing back into atrium
D
Open right atrium, closed top right atrium to prevent blood from flowing back into 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tricuspid valve: Allows blood to pass from the right atrium to the right ventricle; prevents blood from flowing back into the right atrium as the heart pumps (systole).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
