The pulmonary valve (sometimes referred to as the pulmonic valve) is thesemilunar valve of the heart that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and has three cusps. Similar to the aortic valve, the pulmonary valve opens in ventricular systole, when the pressure in the right ventricle rises above the pressure in the pulmonary artery. At the end of ventricular systole, when the pressure in the right ventricle falls rapidly, the pressure in the pulmonary artery will close the pulmonary valve.
The closure of the pulmonary valve contributes the P2 component of the second heart sound (S2). The right heart is a low-pressure system, so the P2 component of the second heart sound is usually softer than the A2 component of the second heart sound. However, it is physiologically normal in some young people to hear both components separated during inhalation.
The function are Prevents the back flow of blood as it is pumped from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.

Function of the pulmonary valve?
pulmanary valve is ppoop
What is the function of the pulmonic?
The function of the pulmonary sinuses is to separate both of the semilunar cusps that are in the pulmonary trunk valve. They forma think wall between the two.

The function of the pulmonary sinuses is to separate both of the semilunar cusps that are in the pulmonary trunk valve. They forma think wall between the two.
What is the function of the pulmonary semilunar valve?
Prevents backflow of blood from the pulmonary trunk (artery) into the right ventricle
Is the pulmonary valve a seminlunar valve?
Yes. The pulmonary valve is a semilunar valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk.
What is the function of the aortic semilunar?
The two semiluar valves are at the exits from the ventricles the pulmonary valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and the aortic valve between the left ventricle and the aorta. This means that their function is to assist the heart valves to control blood flow.
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
