To regulate passage of blood from the right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries (leading to the lungs). The valve prevents backward flow back into the ventricle and opens only when the right ventricle generates enough pressure from its contraction to squeeze the blood past the valve into the pulmonary arteries

Where does blood flow from when it passes through the semilunar valve and into the lungs?

Semilunar valves are found throughout the body in veins, as they prevent backflow of deoxygenated blood. In the heart, there are two semilunar valves, the pulmonary semilunar valve and the aortic semilunar valve. The pulmonary semilunar valve is the gateway to the pulmonary artery, which then goes to the lungs. The aortic semilunar valve is the gateway to the aorta, which distributes oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.


What valve exits the right ventricle?
