Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The valves located between the right ventricle and pulmonary trunk is known as the ____ valve.
A
aortic
B
atrioventricular
C
semilunar
D
pulmonary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two types of heart valves; the atrioventricular valves (mitral, tricuspid) and the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonic). The pulmonic valve physically separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk.

Detailed explanation-2: -The valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary trunk is the pulmonary semilunar valve. The valve between the left ventricle and the aorta is the aortic semilunar valve. When the ventricles contract, atrioventricular valves close to prevent blood from flowing back into the atria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary valve. The pulmonary valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The pulmonary valve (sometimes referred to as the pulmonic valve) is a valve of the heart that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and has three cusps. It is one of the four valves of the heart and one of the two semilunar valves, the other being the aortic valve.
