the lungs.
The venous bright ventricle to the lungs by thelood is carried from the

  1. What is the valve that
    separates the right ventricle
    from the pulmonary artery?
    Why is that valve important?


The valve that seventricle and the base of the pulmonaryparates the right (^)
artery is the pulmonary valve. The
pulmonary valve is impblood from the pulmonary circulation toortant to prevent
flow back to the heart during diastole.
