Detailed explanation-1: -When the left ventricle contracts, the mitral valve closes and the aortic valve opens. This is so blood flows into the aorta and out to the rest of the body. While the left ventricle is relaxing, the right ventricle also relaxes. This causes the pulmonary valve to close and the tricuspid valve to open.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aortic Valve Opens to allow blood to leave the heart from the left ventricle through the aorta and the body. Prevents the backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your aortic valve opens to let blood flow from your left ventricle to your aorta. It closes to prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction. The closed valve keeps blood from leaking from your aorta back into your heart.

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