What prevents backflow of blood inside the heart during contraction?


As the ventricular diastole (relaxation progress) the pressure in the ventricles decreases and blood from the systemic aorta and pulmonary aorta tries to return back, but due to the closer of "Semilunar valves" the back flow of blood is prevented. This also produces the second heart sound called the "Dub" sound.
