During ventricular systole both ventricles contract, forcing the blood out of them and into another vessel. The left ventricle is the one that provides blood to the rest of the body. As it contracts, the high pressure causes the aortic semilunar valve to open, and blood travels through it to the aorta.
What else can I help you with?
Do cuspid valves open into the aorta?
yes
Semilunar valves open at the end of?
Semilunar valves are located at the base of both the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary artery) and the aorta
Are there valves in the pulmonary artery or 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.
The entrance to the ascending aorta is guarded by?
The entrance to the ascending aorta is guarded by the semilunar valve. The semilunar valves are pocketlike structures attached at the point at which the pulmonary artery and the aorta leave the ventricles.
Why are the valves at the start of the aorta called semilunar valves?
Because there are crescent shaped, like half moons :)
Does hepatic artery have valves?
No. No artery has valves, except for the aorta.
Are there are valves in the pulmonary artery or the aorta.?
false
Do cuspid valves open into the aorta?
yes
There are valves in the pulmonary artery or the aorta.?
false
Why are the valves at the entrance to the aorta and pulmonary artery called semilunar?
Both these valves are halfmoon shaped
What are the main blood passages to the heart?
pulmonary and aorta valves.
What vessels transport blood toward the the heart and have valves?
veins
What is the name of the valve located at the entrance of the aorta?
semi-lunar valves
What is the role of valves?
prevent the back flow of blood from ventricle to aorta
