Which of the following correctly matches the valve to its function?
A)Tricuspid valve-permits one-way blood flow from the right to the left atrium
B)Pulmonary valve-permits one-way blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta
C)Mitral valve-permits one-way blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle
D)Aortic valve-permits one-way blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary trunk

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart, and it permits one-way blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. This valve prevents blood from flowing back into the left atrium during ventricular contraction.

Answer: D
 The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta of the heart, and it permits one-way blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. This valve prevents blood from flowing back into the left ventricle during relaxation.

Both choices (C) and (D) correctly match the valve to its function, but they represent different valves in the heart. Therefore, either choice can be the best answer, depending on the question asked.
