aorta dont have any valves..

Sticky:
no one said they have valves, its just another name given to bicuspid valve

tmisterr:
The aorta does have valves, semilunar valves to prevent blood flowing back into ventricles during ventricular diastole. so yes aortic valves are semilunar valves. bicuspid valves are atrioventricular valves, between the left atrium and left ventricle and is definitely not an aortic valve
