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 else can I help you with?

Where is the blood pumped after it leaves the right ventricle?

After blood leaves the right ventricle via the semilunar valve it exits out the pulmonary artery to the lungs where it picks up oxygen.


Where does blood flow from the right atrium?

right atrium --> tricuspid valve --> right ventricle --> pulmonary semilunar valve --> pulmonary arteries --> lungs --> pulmonary veins --> left atrium --> bicuspid valve --> left ventricle --> aortic semilunar valve --> aorta --> arteries and capillaries --> cells --> venules, veins, vena cava --> right atrium -->thoughtfulobserver


What is the valve between the left ventricle and the blood vessel leaving the left ventricle?

The LEFT ventricle and pulmonary artery are not connected by a valve. The RIGHT ventricle is connected by the pulmonic valve. The mitral valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle and the tricuspid valve seperates the right atrium from the right ventricle.


From the atrium through the tricuspid valve to the?

The blood flows from the atrium through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve prevents backflow of blood from the right ventricle back into the right atrium when the ventricle contracts.


What is the name of the valve present between the left auricle and the right ventricle?

The valve between the right auricle (or atrium) and right ventricle is the tricuspid. The one between the left auricle and ventricle is the mitral. There is no valve between the left auricle and right ventricle.


What valve is between the R atria and the R ventricle?

there is a tricuspid valve in between the right atria and ventricle.


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 prevents the backflow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium?

The valve that prevents the backflow of blood from the right ventricle into the right atrium is called the tricuspid valve.

Into what chamber does the pulmonic valve prevent backflow of blood?

The pulmonic valve prevents backflow of blood into the right ventricle.


What is the valve which sends blood to the right ventricle?

the right atrioventricular valve


What keeps the blood from flowing back into the right atrium after it has entered the right ventricle?

The tricuspid valve prevents the backflow of blood to the right atrium..The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. It opens to allow the de-oxygenated blood collected in the right atrium to flow into the right ventricle. It closes as the right ventricle contracts, preventing blood from returning to the right atrium; thereby, forcing it to exit through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery.
