Detailed explanation-1: -Atrioventricular valves are present between the arteries and ventricles. Semilunar valves are present between the ventricles and major heart arteries. It allows the flow of blood from the right atrium to the right ventricle and the left atrium to the left ventricle.
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. The right atrioventricular valve is the tricuspid valve.
Detailed explanation-3: -The aortic and pulmonic valves are known as the semilunar valves, whereas the tricuspid and mitral valves are referred to as the atrioventricular valves.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
