prevents blood from moving from left ventricle into left atrium during ventricular contraction
The one-way valves in deep veins prevent blood from flowing backward.
prevents blood from moving from pulmonary trunk into right ventricle during ventricular relaxation
located at the base of the aorta. opens to allow blood to leave the left ventricle as it contracts and prevents blood from backing up into the left ventricle aka semilunar
