e. Aortic Valve
One of four valves that regulate cardiac blood flow is the
aortic valve. It divides the body's main artery from the lower
left cardiac chamber (left ventricle) (aorta).Treatment options
for a damaged or unhealthy aortic valve include aortic valve
replacement and repair.

Pulmonary Valve
The pulmonary valve is one of four valves that control blood
flow in the heart. It connects the lower right heart chamber
(right ventricle) to the artery that delivers blood to the lungs
(pulmonary artery),
the right atrium,
From right atrium, it goes through the tricuspid valve to
ight ventricle.
From the right ventricle, it goes through the pulmonary
semilunar valves to the pulmonary trunk
From the pulmonary trunk it moves into the right and left
arteries to the lungs.
From the lungs, oxygenated blood is returned to the heart
through the pulmonary veins.
From the pulmonary veins, blood flows into the left
atrium.
From the left atrium, blood flows through the bicuspid
(mitral) valve into the left ventricle.
From the left ventricle, it_goes through the_aorti
milunar valves into the ascending aorta.
Blood is distributed to the rest_of the body (systemic
circulation) from the aorta

POST-DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
I. Answer the following prompts:
1. What are Korotkow’s (Korotkoff’s) sounds?
Korotkoff sounds, which are detected by the stethoscope during
an _auscultatory blood pressure measurement, are used to define
systalic (high value) and diastolic (low value) pressures within the
arterial system.
2. Enumerate the factors involved in the maintenance of arterial blood
pressure.
* Cardiac output
Peripheral vascular resistance
Volume of circulating blood
* Vi ‘y.of blood
* Elasticity of vessels walls
3. Compute for the mean arterial pressure if the blood pressure is 120/70
mmHg,
MAP = SBP +2 (DBP)
3
MAP = 120 + 2 (70)
3
MAP = 120 + 140
3
MAP = 260
3
MAP = 86.7 mm HG
