Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the absence of muscular braces in semilunar valves as compared to those found in the AV valves.
Introduction:
The heart valve generally allows the blood to flow in one direction via the heart and the four valves present in the heart basically determine the pathway of the flow of the blood through the heart. The opening and the closing of the heart is basically for the incumbent on the differential blood pressure on each side.
