Detailed explanation-1: -The aortic valve is one of four heart valves and is the final one encountered by oxygenated blood as it leaves the heart. It is also called aortic semilunar due to its semilunar shape. It is between the left ventricle and the aorta to ensure that oxygen-rich blood does not flow back into the left ventricle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is true of the aorta? It arises within the left ventricle.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The semilunar valve that “sees” oxygenated blood is the c) Aortic valve.
Detailed explanation-5: -Pulmonary Valve (or Pulmonic Valve) Opens to allow blood to be pumped from the right ventricle to the lungs (through the pulmonary artery) where it will receive oxygen.
