What is the structure that prevents blood from flowing back into the atria when the ventricles contract?
man someone help me
What controls the flowing of blood from the ventricles to the arteries?
triscupid valve
Blood is kept from flowing back into the ventricles by the action of the what?
semilunar
How does the heart stop blood from flowing the wrong way when the heart muscle contracts?
It has valves. The TRICUSPID valve between the right atrium and right ventricle and the BICUSPID valve between the left atrium and left ventricle. These valves open as the atria contract and close as the atria relax. The heart also has two SEMI-LUNAR valves at the base of the pulmonary artery and the aorta to prevent back flow from the arteries too. They open as the ventricles contract and close as the ventricles relax. Hope this helps :) Kim Walsh x
What does the atrioventricular valve do?
The atrioventricular valves are two heart valves that allow for the transportation of blood from the atria to the ventricles of the heart. Its function is to prevent the return of blood to the atrium.
What 2 jobs do the valves of the heart do?
Both AV valves, the bicuspid and tricuspid, (separating the ventricles from the atria) prevent blood from flowing back into the atria when the ventricles contract. Both the semilunar valves (separating the arteries from the ventricles) prevent blood from flowing back from the arteries once it has been pumped out of he ventricles, and thus, out of the heart. The difference is that the AV valves are contracted when they are CLOSED, but the semilunar valves are contracted when OPEN. Otherwise, I can't think of another major job besides preventing backflow.
These are the flaps that stop blood from flowing the wrong way?
There are atrioventricular valves on each side of the heart that keep blood from flowing from the ventricles back up into the atria. There are also semilunar valves that prevent blood from flowing from the pulmonary arteries and aorta back into the right and left ventricles, respectively.

When ventricles contract the bicuspid valve prevents blood from flowing from-what?
The bicuspid valve, sometimes better known as the mitral valve, allows blood to flow in only one direction (assuming it is functional) from the left atrium to the left ventricle, it prevents blood from flowing back from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
Blood in the pulmonary artery and aorta is prevented from flowing back into the ventricles when they relax by the action of the?
