When the blood flows from the right ventricle, it passes through pulmonic valve before it reaches pulmonary artery. Pulomic valve closes as blood passes here to prevent back flow.
Vena Cava has valves, if im not wrong, but pulmonary veins definitely do not have valves.
During the isovolumetric relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle, the AV valves (mitral and tricuspid) are closed to prevent backflow of blood into the atria while the muscle fibers relax. The semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) are also closed to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles as they start to relax.
Blood is ejected from the ventricles into the major blood vessels that are connected to the heart: the aorta on the left side and the pulmonary trunk on the right side
Semilunar valves are located at the base of both the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary artery) and the aorta
There are not valves in the pulmonary artery or the aorta. However there are valves between these and the heart. Between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery there is a valve referred to as the pulmonary semilunar valve. Between the left ventricle and the aorta there is a valve called the aortic semilunar valve.
It is the pulmonary valve. Sigmoid is only a synonyme for semilunar (includes pulmonary and aortic valves).

When the atria contract, there is increase in pressure in the atrial chambers. So both bicuspid and tricuspid valves opened up. When both the ventricles contract, both the bicuspid and tricuspid valves get closed. This opens up the aortic and pulmonary valves.
The pulmonary valve is also known as the pulmonic valve, and the aortic valve is simply referred to as the aortic valve.
