When a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is triggered, to what other semiconductor diode are its electrical characteristics similar (as measured between its cathode and anode)?

Why

Once triggered, a silicon controlled rectifier acts like a standard junction diode, allowing current to flow freely from anode to cathode while blocking it in the reverse direction. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
