Where does blood flow from when it passes through the semilunar valve and into the lungs?

∙ 8y ago
Semilunar valves are found throughout the body in veins, as they prevent backflow of deoxygenated blood. In the heart, there are two semilunar valves, the pulmonary semilunar valve and the aortic semilunar valve. The pulmonary semilunar valve is the gateway to the pulmonary artery, which then goes to the lungs. The aortic semilunar valve is the gateway to the aorta, which distributes oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

∙ 15y agoAfter the semilunar valve, blood goes in two places (due to the fact that there are two semilunar valves). There is the aortic valve and the pulmonary valve. The aortic vavle sends blood out of the heart and into the arteries. the pulmonary valve sends blood to the lungs where it can receive more oxygen for the body.

Blood leaves through the semilunar valve and goes into the?
Blood leaving the the right ventricle through the pulmonary semilunar valve moves toward the lungs. Blood leaving the left ventricle though the aortic semilunar valve moves toward every where but the lungs.
How is venous blood converted to arterial blood?
Venous blood from body tissues is deoxygenated. It flows into the heart at the right atrium, through the tricuspid valve, and into the right atrium. Then it gets pumped to the lungs through the pulmonary semilunar valve. It becomes oxygenated in the lungs, then goes to the left atrium of the heart where it passes through the bicuspid valve and then is pumped through the Aortic semilunar valve where it becomes arterial blood.
Blood leaves the right ventricle then passes through a valve and enters what blood vessel?
through seminular valve at the time of ventricle contaraction blood from right ventricle is pumped to lungs.
What pumps blood into the pulmonary artery and carries it to the lungs?
The RIGHT VENTRICLE pumps the oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve and into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs.
If blood takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs the blood passes through what?
The blood passes through tiny capillaries that lie in close proximity to the alveoli in the lungs. This is where the gas exchange takes place.
In function of the heart is to what blood to the lungs?
Well, the pulmonary trunk / pulmonary arteries bring deoxygenated blood to the lungs. From there it travels through pulmonary veins into the left atria. From the left atria it travels through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. When the left ventricle relaxes after a contraction, the blood passes through the aortic semilunar valve and into the aorta. From there it pretty much just goes to the rest of the body
Where do red blood cells obtain oxygen?
The lungs, as blood passes through the lungs, they deposit carbon and receive oxygen.
What does blood flow from when it enters the tricupids valve and passes into the right ventricle?
I don't really understan the question so bear with me: Blood flows into the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cava, then it passes through the tricuspid valve into the right valve; the it goes through the semilunar valves into the pulmonary artery, and then goes to the lungs. I hope the answer you want is somewhere in there.
How many time do red blood cells passes through the heart when it travels from the lungs and return to the lungs?
The body has a double circulation the blood passes through the heart twice in one complete circuit.
What is the path blood takes through the heart?
Blood enters the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava. These two paths dump deoxygenated blood into the right atrium. Blood passes from the right atrium through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts and forces the blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries. The blood moves into the lungs and gas exchange occurs, oxygenating the blood. The blood then moves through the pulmonary vein, emptying into the left atrium. The oxygenated blood then passes through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. The left ventricle contracts and forces the blood out through the aortic semilunar valve and into the aorta. The aorta is the bodies largest artery and blood is distributed to smaller arteries and out to the entire body (except the lungs). Remember simply: Body -> Vena Cava -> Right Atrium -> Tricuspid Valve -> Right Ventricle -> Pulmonary Semilunar Valve -> Pulmonary Artery -> Lungs -> Pulmonary Vein -> Left Atrium -> Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve -> Left Ventricle -> Aortic Semilunar Valve -> Aorta -> Body If you can remember this, remembering heart anatomy and understanding how the heart works is very simple.
Function of semilunar valves?
the function of the semilunar valves are that they provied the lungs with glucose and oxygen.
What are the four major organs through which the blood passes?
Lungs, Heart, liver & kidneys.
