At the end of ventricular systole, the ventricles relax; the semilunar valves snap shut, preventing backflow, and momentary, the ventricles are closed chambers.
The aortic semilunar valves snaps shut, a momentary increase in the aortic pressure results from the elastic recoil of the aorta after valves closure.

Valves of the heart open and close due to?
Due to pressure changes in different chambers of the heart. For example, when the atria contract, the bicuspid and tricuspid valves open. They get closed, when the ventricles contract. When the ventricles contract the aortic and pulmonary valves open. Aortic and pulmonary valves close, when the ventricles relax.
How would the valves of the heart be affected if the valves were tough or filled with calcium deposits?
They wouldn't be able to open and close correctly, resulting in backflow of blood.
Veins have cuplike?
Veins have cuplike valves that keep the blood from flowing backwards when the muscles are at rest. These valves open when the muscles contract to force blood back up toward the heart.
Bicuspid and tricuspid valves open in what direction?
The bicuspid (mitral) valve and tricuspid valve open in a direction that allows blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles.
What nitrogen base is found during the process of transcription that is NOT found during the process of replication?
The Gulf War
Which valves in the heart are open during diastole?
During systole, both atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral) are closed. The aortic valve is open. During diastole, both atrioventricular valves are open, and the aortic valve is closed.
What causes the valves to open and close during the heart cycle?
By minute electrical singles produced by the heart itself to open and close the valves.
Are both sets of heart valves open during any part of the cardiac cycle?
Yes, both sets of valves are closed twice during any one cardiac cycle.
Which two valves are open during ventricular systole and closed during ventricular diastole?
The semi-lunar valves
What occurs during left ventricular relaxation?
open
When are semi-lunar valves open?
Semilunar valves are open when the blood is being pumped. The AV valves are closed when the semilunar valves are open.
What happens to A-V valves during ventricular contraction?
As the ventricles of the heart contract the pressure in the ventricles rises beyond that of the atria. This pressure differential causes the AV valves to shut.
When do the bicuspid valves open and close?
The bicupid and tricuspid valves close during ventricular contraction. This prevents the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria.
When are all valves closed?
The AV valves open when the blood pressure exerted on their atrial side is greater than that of the ventricle side. This will happen when blood returning to the heart fills the atria and puts pressure against the valve.
When are superheater safety valves set to open?
after the main safety valves are open
Are both sets of valves closed during the cardiac cycle?
Pulmonary and aortic valves are semilunar valves having three semilunar cusps each. these valves open with the free ends facing the vessels when the heart contracts and closes when heart relaxes thus preventing regurgitation
What happens to A V valves during ventricular contraction?
As the ventricles of the heart contract the pressure in the ventricles rises beyond that of the atria. This pressure differential causes the AV valves to shut.
