Which valves are located between the atria and ventricles and prevent backflow into the atria when the ventricles contract?

Valves between the atria and ventricles are the atrioventricular valves, which open to let blood move from the atria into the ventricles and snap shut during ventricular contraction to stop blood from flowing back into the atria. This valve system includes the mitral valve on the left and the tricuspid valve on the right, supported by chordae tendineae and papillary muscles that prevent leaflet prolapse during systole. The other structures mentioned have different roles: semilunar valves are between the ventricles and the arteries, and papillary muscles and chordae tendineae help support the AV valves but are not valves themselves.
