1- Cardiac Valves:
a- Prevent backflow of blood from the
ventricles to the atria during diastole.
b- The cusps of the semilunar valves attached
to the papillary muscles
c- The cusps of the AV valves pulled inward
toward the ventricles during systole.
d- Normally allow flow of some blood to the
atria during ventricular systole.
