The tricuspid valve prevents backflow from the right ventricle to the right atrium, the bicuspid valve prevents backflow from the left ventricle to the left atrium, and semilunar valves prevent backflow into the heart from the aorta and pulmonary artery. Chordae tendinae ensure these valves do not invert under pressure.
