In the heart/arteries, the Aortic valve prevents blood from flowing backwards. In the systemic veins, eustachean valves prevent the backwards flow of blood.

What would cause a man to hemorrhage out of his mouth after a heart attack?
It could possibly be caused by blood backing up in the lungs from the heart not pumping properly (Congestive Heart failure). the blood could be actually coming from the lungs and being coughed up
What structure grinds up what earthworms eat?
The gizzard is the structure that grinds up the food.
What are the major parts of the human heart?
Four chambers, left ventricle, left atrium. The right atrium and ventricle ( send blood to the lungs ). There are valves that stop the blood from backing up into the atria and the veins. And there are coronary arteries. There's a few more miscellaneous parts, but that covers the major stuff.
Why diaphragmatic hernia is common in the left side?
The liver on the RHS prevents the riding up of gastrointestinal contents.
When does the AV valve closes during the cardiac cycle?
Not sure how much detail ur looking for here... but basically this is what it is. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV). When the ventricles (right and left) contract, they send blood forward into the arteries (RV to pulmonary artery to send blood to lungs for oxygenation, LV to the aorta to distribute oxygenated blood throughout the body). The purpose of valves is to prevent blood from backflowing. Since you asked about the tricuspid valve, it prevents blood going back up from the RV to the RA. Just in case you don't know the basic heart circulation... deoxygenated blood from the body comes into the RA from the superior and inferior vena cavae, and from the RA goes into the RV. Between these two is the tricuspid valve, and when the RA contracts, blood gets pushed into the RV. When the RV contracts to push blood into the pulmonary artery, the tricuspid valve snaps shut in order to prevent blood from getting pushed up into the RA again. Similarly, there are 3 other valves that function for the same reason (aortic, mitral, and pulmonic). Failure of the valves to close properly causes many heart problems!
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 do the atrioventicular valves prevent?
They prevent blood from backing up, or going backwards, into the atria.
What structures prevent blood in the ventricles from backing up into the atrium?
the mitral and tricuspid valves
Why valves are present in veins?
Valves in the veins are like one-way gates that prevent blood from backing up or pooling.
When Dr. presses on your lower leg with his finger and it leaves an indentation what does this have to do with your heart?
The indentation that is left in the lower leg is due to edema, or fluid settling in the tissues. Most of the time, the build up of fluid left in the tissues is because the blood is backing up from the heart, and allowing the fluid portion of the blood to settle from the bloodvessels into the surrounding tissue. This fluid backing up in the blood vessels can be due to Congestive heart failure.
Alcohol intake prevents the body's absorption of?
Well it prevents the bodies absorption of water because it dehydrates you. And it burns up your sugar in your body which gives you low blood sugar.
What is the structure of veins?
veins are large, thin-walled blood vessels that carry blood to the heart!!!!
What chemicals make up backing soda?
Backing soda is NaHCO3.
Do you have to use your hazard lights when backing up a 100 ft on the road during a driving test?
When backing up more then 30 ft. you are required to activate your hazard lights when backing up. So yes, if you are backing up 100 ft. you have to use your hazard lights.
Why do you need to allow water to drain out from the flower pot?
Think of the plant as any living creature, so it needs to breathe. Allowing water to drain from the pot prevents water from backing up into the pot and "drowning" the plant.

When backing up you should...?
