The semi-lunar valves, located at the entrance of the aorta and pulmonary artery, remain shut when the atria contract due to the pressure dynamics in the heart. During atrial contraction, blood is pushed into the ventricles, causing ventricular pressure to remain lower than the pressure in the arteries. As a result, the blood in the aorta and pulmonary artery exerts pressure on the semi-lunar valves, preventing them from opening. This ensures that blood flows in the correct direction and that the ventricles fill properly before they contract.

Do atrioventricular vales prevent backflow into the heart?

yes, they get it back by pumping blood to the 4 parts of your heart. when you inhale, it makes rich blood when you exhale it takes out poor blood which turns into carbon dioxide.


When does the pulmonary semilunar valve open?

The two semilunar valves are the aortic valve and the pulmonic valve. The aortic valve opens when the left ventricle contracts, allowing blood to pass into the aorta. The pulmonic valve opens when the right ventricle contracts, allowing blood to pass into the pulmonary artery.


What is filling after the second heart sound?

The heart makes a "lub-dub" sound. The first is when the AV valves close and the ventricles are filled. The second is when the semi-lunar vlaves close and the blood is sent to the lungs, or to the rest of the body.
