Bicuspid/Mitral and Tricuspid valves closing What are the atrioventricular valves? - ...ANSWER... tricuspid and bicuspid (mitral) valves What are the semilunar valves? - ...ANSWER... pulmonar y and aortic valves What causes the semilunar valves to open? - ...ANSWER... As ventricles contract and intraventricular pressure rises, blood is pushed up against the SL valves, forcing them to open ejection fraction - ...ANSWER... measurement of the volu me percentage of left ventricular contents ejected with each contraction What causes the semilunar valves to close? - ...ANSWER... ventricles relax and intraventricular pressure falls, blood flows back from the arteries, and fill the cusps of the semilunar valves What causes the S2 heart sound? - ...ANSWER... closing of semilunar (aortic and pulmonary) valves What prevents the backflow into the ventricles - ...ANSWER... semilunar valves Stenosis of heart valve - ...ANSWER...
