Which one of the following valves guards the opening between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

The heart has four valves that regulate blood flow. The opening between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery is guarded by the pulmonary valve, which is a type of semilunar valve. These valves are called "semilunar" because of the half-moon shape of their cusps. The pulmonary valve prevents the backflow of blood into the right ventricle during diastole.

  • Tricuspid valve: Guards the opening between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
  • Bicuspid (Mitral) valve: Guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
  • Aortic valve: Another semilunar valve located between the left ventricle and the aorta.
