Explanation

The pulmonary valve is one of the four main valves in the heart. It acts like a door, allowing blood to flow in one direction from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen. The valve then closes to stop blood from flowing back into the heart. This process is crucial for maintaining healthy blood circulation in the body.
