Where is the aortic valve and pulmonic valve located?
A
Between the ventricles and major blood vessels
B
Between atria and ventricles
C
Between blood vessels and arteries
D
Between pulmonary artery
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -pulmonary valve: located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. mitral valve: located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. aortic valve: located between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-2: -The valves between the atria and ventricles are called atrioventricular valves (also called cuspid valves), while those at the bases of the large vessels leaving the ventricles are called semilunar valves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Valves maintain direction of blood flow The pulmonary valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The mitral valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle. The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pulmonary valve is one of four valves that control blood flow in the heart. It’s between the lower right heart chamber (right ventricle) and the artery that delivers blood to the lungs (pulmonary artery).

Detailed explanation-5: -The aortic and pulmonic valves are known as the semilunar valves, whereas the tricuspid and mitral valves are referred to as the atrioventricular valves. All the valves are trileaflet, with the exception of the mitral valve, which has 2 leaflets.
