Which of the Following Semilunar Valves "Sees" Oxygenated Blood

Question

Which of the following semilunar valves "sees" oxygenated blood?
A) Mitral
B) Bicuspid
C) Aortic
D) Pulmonic

Accepted Answer

The aortic valve is the semilunar valve that "sees" oxygenated blood. It is located between the left ventricle and the aorta, which carries oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. The mitral and bicuspid valves are both atrioventricular valves that regulate the flow of blood between the left atrium and left ventricle. The pulmonic valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
