Blood Leaves the Right Ventricle by Passing Through The

Question

Blood leaves the right ventricle by passing through the
A) aortic valve.
B) pulmonary valve.
C) mitral valve.
D) tricuspid valve.
E) bicuspid valve.

Accepted Answer

The pulmonary valve separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery, and when the right ventricle contracts, it pumps blood through the pulmonary valve and into the pulmonary artery, which leads to the lungs. The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta and allows blood to leave the heart to be distributed to the rest of the body. The mitral (also known as the bicuspid) valve is on the left side of the heart and separates the left atrium from the left ventricle, while the tricuspid valve is on the right side of the heart and separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. However, blood does not leave the right ventricle through either the mitral or tricuspid valve.
