The value that keeps blood from flowing back into the left atrium from the left ventricle is called the?

The value that prevents blood from flowing back into the left atrium from the left ventricle is called the mitral valve. It ensures unidirectional blood flow during the cardiac cycle, closing during ventricular contraction to prevent regurgitation into the atrium.


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.


As the left ventricle contracts the blood is prevented from going back into the left atrium by a one-way valve called the?

The Mitral Valve is positioned between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Closing of the mitral valve prevents the blood from flowing back to the left atrium.


When the ventricle contract the bicuspid mitral valve prevents blood from flowing from the?

The left Mitral and right Tricuspid valves are the Atrioventricular (AV) Valves located between the atrial and and ventricular chambers on each side, prevent backflow into the atria when the ventricles are contracting.


What prevents blood frow from right atrium to left atrium?

Inter-atrial septum


Where does blood flow to after it leaves the atrium and passes through the biscuspid valve?

Oxygenated blood from the lungs flow back into the heart via the left pulmonary veins into the left atrium, through the bicuspid (mitral) valve, into the left ventricle.


What cardiac condition involves the back flow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium?

Heart murmur I think.


What prevents the back flow of blood from the ventricles into the atrium?

The heart valves shut. There are two valves the mitral and the tricuspid. The mitral valve opens allowing blood into the ventricles (from the atrium) then the tricuspid valve opens allowing the blood to be pushed out into the left ventricle and out of to the body. It shuts allowing blood to fill the atrium again.


What is the circuit called from the time a drop of blood is dropped in the right atrium to the time its dropped in the left atrium?

The vascular circuit that connects the right atrium to the left atrium is the pulmonary circulation.
