Why doesnt the blood normally flow from the lower heart chambers to the upper heart chambers?

Blood flows from your superior and inferior vena cava into the right atrium, through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, and is then pumped into your pulmonary system. The oxygenated blood returns from the pulmonary vein into the left atrium, through the bicuspid valve, and into the right ventricle - where it is pumped into the body. The lower chambers of the heart, or the ventricles, are much more muscular because of all the pumping they do. The valves (bicuspid and tricuspid) prevent the blood from going "backwards" so to speak, and returning to the atria while the ventricles are contracting.
