Question

As blood leaves the left ventricle, it passes:
a. through the bicuspid valve.
b. through the aortic semilunar valve.
c. into the right atrium.
d. into the right ventricle.
e. into the pulmonary trunk.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be option B-through the aortic semilunar valve.

Explanation:

Ventricles are the lower chambers of the heart which pump blood to the lungs and tissues of the body.

The left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to the systemic circuit through the aortic semilunar valves which prevent the back flow of the oxygenated blood from the aorta to the left ventricle. These aortic valves are smaller than atrioventricular valves with cusps in the shape of cups which control the back flow of the blood.

Thus, option B-through the aortic semilunar valve is the correct answer.
