The semilunar valves prevent backflow into the ventricles. The pulmonary semilunar valve prevents backflow in the right ventricle, and the aortic semilunar valve prevents backflow of blood in the left ventricle.
All the valves of the heart prevent backflow of the blood through the heart: tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and aortic valve. Furthermore, there are one-way valves in the veins that prevent backflow of blood.
ventricles
Both AV valves, the bicuspid and tricuspid, (separating the ventricles from the atria) prevent blood from flowing back into the atria when the ventricles contract. Both the semilunar valves (separating the arteries from the ventricles) prevent blood from flowing back from the arteries once it has been pumped out of he ventricles, and thus, out of the heart. The difference is that the AV valves are contracted when they are CLOSED, but the semilunar valves are contracted when OPEN. Otherwise, I can't think of another major job besides preventing backflow.

The semilunar valves prevent backflow into the ventricles. The pulmonary semilunar valve prevents backflow in the right ventricle, and the aortic semilunar valve prevents backflow of blood in the left ventricle.
To prevent backflow of blood into the Ventricles.
A closed heart valve is meant to prevent backflow of blood in the heart. There are valves that separate the atria and ventricles, and valves that separate the ventricles and arteries.
The semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles of the heart. They close to ensure that blood flows in one direction only, from the ventricles to the arteries (pulmonary artery and aorta).
The atrioventricular valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria. They permit the one-directional flow of blood from the atria to the ventricles.
All the valves of the heart prevent backflow of the blood through the heart: tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and aortic valve. Furthermore, there are one-way valves in the veins that prevent backflow of blood.
ventricles
It prevents blood flowing back into the heart from the arteries.
The atrioventricular valves prevent the backflow of blood into the atria when the ventricles are contracting. The semilunar valves prevent backflow from the arteries into the ventricles.
The Bicuspid Valve is much like the Tricuspid Valve. It allows blood to flow through into the ventricle, but prevents blood from entering back into the atrium. The difference is it only has two flaps instead of three.
To prevent backflow of blood into the Ventricles.
yes, they get it back by pumping blood to the 4 parts of your heart. when you inhale, it makes rich blood when you exhale it takes out poor blood which turns into carbon dioxide.
