What keeps the blood from being squeezed backward into the arteries rather than forward to the heart?

between left ventricle and atrium) and tricuspid (between right ventricle and atrium) are the 2 valves that prevent the backward flow of blood from the ventricles into the atria.
There are two semi-lunar valves also prevent the backward flow of blood from arota to the left ventricle (Aortic valve) and from the Pulmonary Artery to the right ventricle (the Pulmonary valve).
The valves at the top of the heart are the semi lunar vavles. These stop back flow from the pulmonary artire and pulmonary vein (to and from the lungs) The valves that stop back flow in the heart from the atruims to the ventricls are the tricuspid valve (on the right) and the bicuspid valve (on the left) (be carful here, because while the tricuspid valve is a universal term, bicuspid is not used in the USA, it is called something else whic escapes me at the moment) the valve that stops blood coming back into the heart from the aorta (main artery going to body) is the aortic valve and the the valve that stops back flow from the veina cava (main vien going back into the heart from the body) is just veina cava valve.

Should the distributor face forward or backward on a Chevy 350?
The distributor should face forward rather than backward on the Chevy 350. It is important to mark the front face of the distributor before removing it.
Why do the sterns of some sailboats angle forward and others backward?
There seems to be a rather wide difference of opinion regarding these aerodynamic/hydrodynamic effects.
Why should one take short steps rather than long once when walking on ice?
While taking short steps,not much backward force is exerted by the foot on the ice, when when we try to take a long step,we have to push the foot on the ground backward, in order to move the other foot forward. As there is not sufficient frictional force to withstand the backward thrust of the foot, the foot will slip on the ice.
What is often worn backward?
A billed hat is often worn backward but that rather defeats the purpose of the bill. The bill is to keep the sun out of your eyes.
Have you ever felt that your life is going backwards instead forward?
Very often, when you feel you are going backward, it is right before you make a great leap ahead. Look at how big cats (tigers, lions, cheetahs) stand just before they 'take off'-- they settle backward into their rear end, lower their heads while lifting their shoulders, then--- in a split second, they surge forward into the hardest, longest run of their lives. People are like big cats-- we just use our minds rather than our hind legs, to push us to the next level forward in our lives.
What rule are the pulmonary arteries an exception to?
Arteries normally carry oxygenated blood. But the pulmonary arteries leave the right ventricle, carrying deoxygenated blood to the lungs. They follow the rule of "arteries leave the heart" rather than the more specific rule "arteries leave the left ventricle."
Why the larger arteries appear to be white rather than red but the larger veins are blue?
Not sure about the white arteries but the blue is non oxygenated blood.
Particles are squeezed together during rarefactions.?
no
What is a backward look question?
A backward-looking question typically asks about something that has already occurred or a past event. It focuses on understanding historical data, actions, or outcomes rather than predicting future occurrences.
Why does natural selection work on organisms phenotypes rather than their genotypes?
This is backward, natural selection works on genotype not phenotype.
Why do passengers in a bus tend to fall backward if it starts suddenly?
It's because of inertia. You are not falling backward technically, rather the bus' acceleration is moving it forward however your inertia is stopping you from moving. So the bus is moving forward while you remain still. It is like the trick when someone pulls a cloth from under a bowl of water very quickly. The cloth comes away cleanly and the bowl does not budge. By the way inertia is the resistance an object (here the object is the passenger in the bus) has to having its state of motion change (that is in this case the passengers are resisting changing their movement from being still to actually moving).
What nerves send blood to the body?
Nerves do not send blood, rather it is arteries and veins that transports blood throughout the body.
