The heart is a 4 chambered organ. There is a right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle. Blood comes from the body into the right atrium, goes into the right ventricle, then is pumped into the lungs, comes back to the heart into the left atrium and then passes into the left ventricle to be distributed to the body. The blood is pumped out of the left ventricle into the aorta. The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. The aortic valve is closed until the contraction of the left ventricle. The aortic valve opens and the blood is pumped into the aorta. Once the blood passes into the aorta, the aortic valve closes.
Aortic valve replacement is necessary when the aortic valve has become diseased. The aortic valve can suffer from insufficiency (inability to perform adequately) or stenosis.
the aortic valveThe Aortic valveThe aortic semilunar valve lies between the left ventricle and the aorta.
The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.
The pulmonary valve is also known as the pulmonic valve, and the aortic valve is simply referred to as the aortic valve.
The blood flows through the aorta after exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve.
because the aortic valve is not functioning properly, i.e. prolapse

If she is concerned about this she should speak to a physician. Aortic valve replacement may be necessary if her aortic valve has narrowed or is leaking.
The aortic semilunar valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta.
The Aortic Valve controls the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta.
lol i had the same worksheet. the answer is the aortic valve. i just put down aortic
in the heart
