Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle and is responsible for allowing blood to flow from the atrium into the ventricle while preventing backflow. The mitral valve (A or B) is located between the left atrium and ventricle and performs a similar function. The pulmonary and aortic semilunar valves (D and E) are located in the blood vessels leaving the heart, not entering it.
