GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -When the left ventricle contracts, it forces blood through the aortic semilunar valve and into the aorta. The aorta and its branches carries the blood to all the body’s tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -semilunar valve, either of two pocketlike half-moon-shaped structures located between the left ventricle and the aorta (aortic valve) and between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery (pulmonary valve) of the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The aortic semilunar valve separates the left ventricle from the opening of the aorta. The aortic and pulmonary valves are semilunar valves which separate the ventricles from the aorta and pulmonary artery, respectively.

Detailed explanation-4: -aortic valve: located between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-5: -The aortic valve separates the left ventricular outflow tract from the ascending aorta. The aortic valve has also been called the left semilunar valve and the left arterial valve and has three leaflets, or cusps: the left coronary cusp, the right coronary cusp, and the non-coronary cusp.
