Semilunar Valves: Function and Location in the Heart

-Semilunar valves prevent the backflow of blood into the ventricles when the ventricles contract to pump blood into the arteries.
-The pulmonary semilunar valves guard the opening from the right ventricle into the pulmonary trunk, whereas the aortic semilunar valves guard the opening from the left ventricle into the aorta.
