What does the semilunar valve control?

Supervised by Itamar Medical
There are two semilunar valves, one is located at the top of the right side of the heart, just before the pulmonary trunk leading to the pulmonary arteries, the other is located at the top of the left side of the heart, just before the aorta. They both prevent backflow of blood to the heart.
