pulmonary valve

The semilunar valve of the heart that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the pulmonary valve is

The semilunar valve of the heart that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the pulmonary valve is

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the pulmonary valve connects to

The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. a kind of cardiac valve.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the pulmonary valve. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as pulmonic valve and valva trunci pulmonalis. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the pulmonary valve?

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the pulmonary valve connect to?

A kind of: cardiac valve.

Is the pulmonary valve the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
