Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery is called the pulmonary semilunar valve, which opens to allow blood to flow into the pulmonary artery and closes to prevent backflow into the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle, while the bicuspid valve (also known as the mitral valve) is located between the left atrium and left ventricle.
