Which of the Following Associations is Correct

Question

Which of the following associations is correct?
A) mitral valve-atrioventricular
B) pulmonary valve-atrioventricular
C) aortic valve-chordae tendineae
D) tricuspid valve-semilunar valve
E) pulmonary valve-chordae tendineae

Accepted Answer

The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle, making it an atrioventricular valve.

Answer: E
 The pulmonary valve is located between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery, making it a semilunar valve. The chordae tendineae are located in the ventricles and attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (the mitral and tricuspid valves). Therefore, there is no association between the pulmonary valve and chordae tendineae.

Therefore, the correct choice is A.
