Where are the semilunar valves located in the heart?
Options
- ABetween the right and left atria
- BBetween the left ventricle and the aorta
- CBetween the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
- DBoth B) and C)
Correct answer
D. Both B) and C)
Step-by-step solution
The openings of the right and the left ventricles into the pulmonary artery and the aorta respectively are provided with the semilunar valves. The valves in the heart allows the flow of blood only in one direction, i.e., from the atria to the ventricles and from the ventricles to the pulmonary artery or aorta. These valves prevent any backward flow.
