A atrio-ventricular valve is the structure that stops blood flowing backwards into the atria. There is one of these valves on both the left and right sides of the heart.

Describe the position and role of the valves in the heart?

There are 4 valves in the heart. The first valve though which the blood passes is the tricuspid which is one of the atrioventriculars (between a ventricle and an atrium) and stops backflow of blood from the right ventricle tothe right atrium. The next valve is the pulmonary valve, one of the semilunars, which stops backflow form the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle. The third valve is the mitral or bicuspid which (the other atrioventricular) which stops backflow from the left ventricle to the left atrium. The last valve is the aortic valve (the other semilunar) which stops backflow from the aorta to the left ventricel.


Where would you find the bicospit valve in the heart?

Bicuspid valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle , and stops blood flowing backwards. blood from the left ventricle is circulated around the entire body.


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 structure that keeps blood from flowing backwards?

Tiny valves in your veins keep blood from backing up. The pumping force of your heart keeps the blood flowing forward. If a valve in your leg stops working properly, the blood seeping back causes varicose veins mainly in your legs, though can occur anywhere.


Why are there four valves in the heart?

2 of these valves (one on each side) stop blood from flowing back into the atria chambers of the heart when the heart is contracting and expelling blood. The other two are there to stop blood flowing out of the ventricles when the heart is filling up with blood. One stops blood flowing through the aorta to supply the body and the other stops it flowing through the pulmonary artery to the lungs.
