Which valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery?

Aortic valve Tricuspid valve Pulmonary valve Mitral valve

Correct Answer:

Pulmonary valve

Explanation:

The valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery is the pulmonary valve. It is a semilunar valve located at the outflow tract from the right ventricle, and it opens to allow blood to flow into the pulmonary artery during systole. When the right ventricle relaxes (diastole), the valve closes to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricle. This helps direct blood toward the lungs for oxygenation. In contrast, the aortic valve sits between the left ventricle and the aorta, the tricuspid valve lies between the right atrium and right ventricle, and the mitral valve lies between the left atrium and left ventricle.
