Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An incompetent pulmonary semilunar valve would result in less efficient blood flow to the lungs because this valve is responsible for controlling blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery, which leads to the lungs. If the valve does not close properly, it could allow blood to flow back into the heart, reducing the amount of blood that is pumped into the lungs for oxygenation.
