Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which valve allows blood to flow out of the heart and to the lungs?
A
pulmonary
B
aortic
C
tricuspid
D
bicuspid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle. The mitral valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle. The pulmonary valve separates the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The pulmonary heart valve opens, allowing deoxygenated blood to leave the right ventricle and flow to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Once the right ventricle has emptied, the pulmonary heart valve closes, thereby keeping the blood from reentering the right ventricle.
