What prevents the back flow of blood inside heart during contraction?
The valves in the veins
Which valve is responsible for preventing the back flow of blood into the right ventricle?
The pulmonary semilunar valve, also called the pulmonic valve, prevents blood that was ejected out of the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery from flowing back into the right ventricle.
Ventricle force blood directly into what?
The ventricles contract and force the blood under pressure, past the semi lunar valves into the arteries. The closing of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves prevents back flow. At the same time the atria and ventricles relax and blood begins to flow back into them from the veins.
What valve prevents blood back flow from aorta to left ventricle?

What is pulmonary valve?
