The word "pulmonary" refers to the lungs, so the pulmonary vein is a blood vessel that runs from the lungs to the heart. It carries oxygenated blood, which is unusual for veins, which (apart from this one) transport de-oxygenated blood to the heart. The pulmonary artery does the opposite: unlike other arteries, it carries de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

What valve exits the right ventricle?
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.
What valve prevents blood back flow from aorta to left ventricle?
Pulmonary semilunar valve (pulmonary valve)
What is the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery?
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.
What is the name of the heart valve that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries?
tricuspid valve
Which valve does blood pass through in order to enter the pulmonary artery?
The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery.
Is the pulmonary valve a seminlunar valve?
Yes. The pulmonary valve is a semilunar valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk.
What valve exits the right ventricle?
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.
What valve prevents blood back flow from aorta to left ventricle?
Pulmonary semilunar valve (pulmonary valve)
Blood flows to the pulmonary artery though what valve?
The pulmonary valve (the right semilunar valve)
What is the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery?
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.
How is Pulmonary valve stenosis prevented?
Pulmonary valve stenosis cannot be prevented
Valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary atery is called what?
The pulmonary valve
What is a pulmonary sigmoid valve?
It is the pulmonary valve. Sigmoid is only a synonyme for semilunar (includes pulmonary and aortic valves).
What is the name of the heart valve that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries?
tricuspid valve
The valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk is?
pulmonary semilunar valve
What is Pulmonary valve stenosis also called?
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.
What is pulmonary valve?
The pulmonary valve is a semilunar valve that prevents the back flow of blood back from the lungs to the right ventricle.
