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.

How is Pulmonary valve stenosis prevented?
Pulmonary valve stenosis cannot be prevented
How many leaflets does the pulmonary valve have?
The pulmonary valve has three leaflets.
Semilunar valve are found at the beginning of what two vessels?
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.
The path of blood flow within the systemic vascular system?
superior vena cava,right atrium,tricuspid valve,right ventricle,pulmonary valve,pulmonary artery,pulmonary veins,left atrium,bicuspid valve,left ventricle,aortic valve,aorta,pulmonary cappillaries,pulmonary trunk
What name is given to the aortic and pulmonary valves?
arterial or semilunar valve
Which set of valves close when the ventricles relax?
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.
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.
Valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary atery is called what?
The pulmonary valve
How is Pulmonary valve stenosis prevented?
Pulmonary valve stenosis cannot be prevented
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 pulmonary SL valve?
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.
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
