Question

which valve does blood travel through directly between the heart and lungs? a aortic valve b bicuspid valve c pulmonary valve d tricuspid valve

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each valve:

• Aortic valve: Connects left ventricle to aorta (not to lungs).
• Bicuspid (mitral) valve: Between left atrium and left ventricle (not direct to lungs).
• Pulmonary valve: Located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery, which carries blood to the lungs. So blood travels through this valve directly between heart (right ventricle) and lungs.
• Tricuspid valve: Between right atrium and right ventricle (not direct to lungs).

Answer:

C. Pulmonary valve
