This is caused by a difference in pressure: higher pressure in the ventricle than in the atrium.
As the atrium contraction finishes filling the ventricle with blood, the equalization of pressure allows the valve to fold back toward the atrium. The beginning of the contraction of the ventricular cardiac muscle causes higher pressure in the ventricle than the atrium, and this seals the valve shut. The valve opens again as the ventricle relaxes, and the atrium, filled again with blood, begins another contraction.
The rise in pressure inside the ventricles, when the walls of the ventricles contract.
AV valves close during the systole phase of the cardiac cycle.
When intraventricular pressure rises.

Pulmonary valve stenosis cannot be prevented
The pulmonary valve has three leaflets.
There are two semilunar valves: 1. pulmonic valvewhich is located at the opening of the pulmonary artery; and 2. aortic valve which is located at the opening of the aorta.

arterial or semilunar valve
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.
Yes. The pulmonary valve is a semilunar valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk.
The pulmonary or pulmonic valve (a semilunar valve) controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the "pulmonary trunk" that branches into the two pulmonary arteries carrying blood to the lungs.

The pulmonary valve
It is the pulmonary valve. Sigmoid is only a synonyme for semilunar (includes pulmonary and aortic valves).
The pulmonary semilunar valve is located in the right ventricle at the opening to the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where it will pick up oxygen. During systole, which is the active part of the heartbeat, the valve is forced open by increased pressure inside the ventricle and blood flows from the heart into the artery. During diastole the pressure inside the heart returns to its lower state, and the pressure inside the artery causes the valve to close again, thus preventing the blood from flowing back into the heart.
tricuspid valve
I guess you refer to the pulmonary valve stenosis which usually is due to the valve calcification when less blood supply will go from right ventricle of heart to the pulmonary circulation. The right ventricle will be hypertrophied because it's working harder then before.
