bicuspid (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.

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.


What regulates the flow of blood to the heart?

veins are responsible for bringing blood back to the heart.


What makes sure the blood does not go backward?

Blood is a constant whereabout in our bodies. As of such a frequent heartbeat exists within our system. Which causes the blood within our bodies to flow forward, in lamense terms it produces a very large push for the blood to distribute it's nutrients throughout the body and back within our heart and out again. This constant push is what prevents blood from flowing backwards in your veins.

What is the pulmonary semi lunar valve?

The pulmonary semilunar valve is a heart valve that separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery. It functions to prevent the backflow of blood from the pulmonary artery back into the right ventricle during the heart's pumping cycle.


What is the flow of blood between the heart and lungs called?

The flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is called the pulmonary circulation.The blood flowing from the heart to the lungs would be deoxygenated and blood flowing towards the heart from the lungs would be oxygenated.


Does deoxygenated blood flow?

the heart is a double pump The heart pumps deoxigenated blood from the body through the heart and then through the lungs the back to the heart.
