Solution

The atrioventricular valves are prevented from inverting into the atrium against the pressure of blood from the ventricles by the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. These structures work together to keep the valves in place and prevent them from inverting or prolapsing. The chordae tendineae are strong, fibrous strings that are attached to the papillary muscles on one end and the valves on the other. When the ventricles contract, the papillary muscles also contract, pulling on the chordae tendineae and keeping the valves in place. This prevents the valves from being pushed back into the atria.
