where is the function of the aortic semilunar valve?
132451
The semilunar valves act to prevent backflow of blood from the arteries to the ventricles during ventricular diastole and help maintain pressure on the major arteries. The aortic semilunar valve separates the left ventricle from the opening of the aorta.

The fibrous skeleton is concentrated at the base of the ventricular mass. It provides electrical insulation at the atrioventricular level and fibrous continuity for the leaflets of the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves.

Semilunar Valves They close at the beginning of ventricular relaxation (diastole), producing the second heart sounds. There are two semilunar valves: Pulmonary valve – located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary orifice).

The aorta is the large artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to other parts of the body.
1189312
cardiovascular system The semilunar valves are pocketlike structures attached at the point at which the pulmonary artery and the aorta leave the ventricles.
955836
Mitral Valve The valves are made of strong, thin flaps of tissue called leaflets or cusps. The leaflets open to let blood move forward through the heart during half of the heartbeat. They close to keep blood from flowing backward during the other half of the heartbeat.
590557
The mitral valve has two leaflets. The anterior leaflet has a semi-circular shape and attaches to two fifths of the annular circumference. There is continuity between the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve and the left and non-coronary cusp of the neighboring aortic valve, referred to as the aortic-mitral curtain.

The semilunar valves act in concert with the AV valves to direct blood flow through the heart. When the atrioventricular valves are open, the semi lunar valves are shut and blood is forced into the ventricles. When the AV valves shut, the semilunar valves open, forcing blood into the aorta and pulmonary artery.

These layers allow the aorta to absorb the force of the blood as it is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body. The tissues of the aortic walls allow it to stretch under pressure. When the pressure passes, the walls relax.
492801
Semilunar valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk that leads to the lungs. A semilunar valve located between the left ventricle and the aorta.. After contraction of the left ventricle, back pressure closes the aortic valve and prevents the back flow of blood from the aorta into the ventricle.
467403
The semilunar valves are located between the ventricles and outflow vessels. They close at the beginning of ventricular relaxation (diastole), producing the second heart sounds. There are two semilunar valves: Pulmonary valve - located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary orifice).
1154573
semilunar valves: Located at the base of both the trunk of the pulmonary artery and the aorta, and prevent backflow of blood from the arteries into the ventricles.
1281453
Pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta via the tricuspid aortic valve; also forms the apex of the heart. Pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk via the pulmonary valve.
803568
In Severe Aortic Stenosis there is a diamond shaped systolic murmur which lasts throughout systole. The murmur is loud and higher pitched than the murmur of mild aortic stenosis. It is caused by calcification of the aortic valve leaflets.
760282
Ascending Aorta: The aorta has three parts: the ascending, the arch and the descending. The ascending aorta has two small branches, the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries provide blood to the heart muscle, and their blockage is the cause myocardial infarctions or heart attacks.

['The mitral valve and tricuspid valve, which control blood flow from the atria to the ventricles.', 'The aortic valve and pulmonary valve, which control blood flow out of the ventricles.']

The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle.
