The tricuspid valve has 3 leaflets, termed the anterior, the septal, and the posterior leaflet; all named for their anatomical position. The leaflets are connected to a respective papillary muscle, also bearing the same name respectively.

What keeps the blood from flowing back into the right atrium after it has entered the right ventricle?

The tricuspid valve prevents the backflow of blood to the right atrium..The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. It opens to allow the de-oxygenated blood collected in the right atrium to flow into the right ventricle. It closes as the right ventricle contracts, preventing blood from returning to the right atrium; thereby, forcing it to exit through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery.


Where does blood flow from the right atrium?

right atrium --> tricuspid valve --> right ventricle --> pulmonary semilunar valve --> pulmonary arteries --> lungs --> pulmonary veins --> left atrium --> bicuspid valve --> left ventricle --> aortic semilunar valve --> aorta --> arteries and capillaries --> cells --> venules, veins, vena cava --> right atrium -->thoughtfulobserver

What is the name of the valve that opens to allow blood to travel from the right atrium to the right ventrcle?

The tricuspid valve is the valve that opens to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle in the heart. This valve prevents blood from flowing back into the right atrium when the right ventricle contracts.
