• Aortic valve

• Tricuspid valve

• Pulmonic valve

What is the role of the pulmonic valve in the heart?

• To connect the right atrium to the right ventricle

• To allow blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery

• To separate the left ventricle from the aorta

Through which vessel does oxygenated blood return to the left side of the heart?

• Pulmonary vein

• Superior vena cava

• Inferior vena cava

• Pulmonary artery

Which valve must blood pass through to enter the aorta from the left ventricle?
