Detailed explanation-1: -Separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery. Opens to allow blood to be pumped from the right ventricle to the lungs (through the pulmonary artery) where it will receive oxygen. Prevents the back flow of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The semilunar valves permit blood to flow into the arteries from the ventricles and prevent the backward flow of blood from the arteries into the ventricles. The semilunar valves are made up of connective tissue and a thin smooth membrane known as the endocardium.
