| valva trunci pulmonalis | <anatomy, cardiology> The heart valve that divides the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve opens when the right ventricle contracts allowing blood to flow into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonic valve on closure prohibits the backwash of unoxygenated blood into the right ventricle. The pulmonic valve has 3 valve cusps. (27 Sep 1997) |
| valvula semilunaris anterior valvae trunci pulmonalis | Anterior semilunar cusp of the pulmonary valve. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ramus apicalis lobi inferioris arteriae pulmonalis dextrae | <anatomy, artery> Branch (of the inferior lobar branch) of the right pulmonary artery serving the apical segment of the inferior lobe of the right lung. Synonym: ramus apicalis lobi inferioris arteriae pulmonalis dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus apicoposterior venae pulmonalis sinistrae superioris | <anatomy, vein> Drains apicoposterior bronchopulmonary segment of superior lobe of left lung. Synonym: ramus apicoposterior venae pulmonalis sinistrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ramus lobi medii arteriae pulmonalis dextrae | Middle lobe branch of right pulmonary artery. See: middle lobe branch. (05 Mar 2000) |
