What keeps the blood from flowing back into a chamber of the heart?

A specific chamber? It's valves and each one has a different name. I'll list the chamber and the valve which stops 'backflow':- Right Atrium: Tricuspid valve Right Ventricle: Pulmonary valve Left Atrium: Mitral valve Left Ventricle: Aortic valve The valves basically open when the relevant chamber is pumped but when pressure goes back towards the chamber they snap shut, stopping blood from going back through the heart/circulatory system.

What is the function of the aortic valve?

The aortic valve functions as a one-way valve between the heart and the rest of the body. Blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart, through the valve, and down the aorta, which in turn supplies blood to all of the organs in the body. Between heart contractions, the valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards into the heart. The function of the aortic valve is then twofold: (1) It provides a route for which blood can leave the heart, and (2) It prevents blood that has already left the heart from leaking backwards into the heart.
