semilunar valves are present in?
610007
The semilunar valves are located between the aorta and the left ventricle, and between the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle. ... When closed, it prevents the back flow of blood as it is pumped from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.

The atrioventricular valves also remain closed during the isovolumetric contraction period. The semilunar valves open when the ventricular muscle contracts and generates blood pressure within the ventricle higher than within the arterial tree. When the heart muscle relaxes the diastole phase begins again.

Valves of the Heart The valves between the atria and ventricles are called atrioventricular valves (also called cuspid valves), while those at the bases of the large vessels leaving the ventricles are called semilunar valves. The right atrioventricular valve is the tricuspid valve.

The pulmonary valve has three cusps: the anterior cusp (AC), the left cusp (LC), and the right cusp (RC). The tricuspid valve has three leaflets named the anterior (A), septal (S), and posterior (P).

Mitral valve. This valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.

Although postinflammatory or rheumatic aortic valve stenosis is now a rarity in the Western world, it continues to be the most common cause of aortic valve stenosis worldwide.

The period of ventricular contraction is called systole, and pressure which is transmitted into the aorta and pulmonary arteries is the systolic pressure. During the peak of systole, the aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves are forced open to allow blood to exit the ventricles and enter these vessels.
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.

When the ventricles contract, atrioventricular valves close to prevent blood from flowing back into the atria. When the ventricles relax, semilunar valves close to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles.
344595
The valve between the left ventricle and the aorta is the aortic semilunar valve. When the ventricles contract, atrioventricular valves close to prevent blood from flowing back into the atria. When the ventricles relax, semilunar valves close to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles.

Fully developed nictitating membranes are found in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals but are rare in primates. In humans, the plica semilunaris (also known as the semilunar fold) and its associated muscles are homologous to the nictitating membrane seen in some other mammals and other vertebrates.

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.

Valves of the Heart The right atrioventricular valve is the tricuspid valve. The left atrioventricular valve is the bicuspid, or mitral, valve. The valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary trunk is the pulmonary semilunar valve.

As pressure drops within the ventricles, blood flows from the major veins into the relaxed atria and from there into the ventricles. Both chambers are in diastole, the atrioventricular valves are open, and the semilunar valves remain closed (see image below).

Once blood is pumped out of the left ventricle and into the aorta, the aortic semilunar valve (or aortic valve) closes preventing blood from flowing backward into the left ventricle. This pattern of pumping is referred to as double circulation and is found in all mammals.
