Semi lunar valves:

1. The valves that open into the aorta are known as semilunar valves.
2. Semi lunar valves are unidirectional, i.e., only allow the movement of blood from the ventricle to the aorta.
3. They are found at the point where the aorta leaves the ventricle.
4. They are located between the left ventricle and the aorta. It is also found between the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle.
5. There are two types of semilunar valves: (1) the aortic valves and (2) the pulmonary valve.
