Front

What is the role of the pulmonary valve?

Back

The pulmonary valve controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, preventing backflow into the ventricle.

Front

Front

What is the function of the aortic valve?

Back

The aortic valve regulates blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta.

Front

What is the difference between the atria and ventricles?
