Q

Describe the basic movement of blood through the heart

A
  • Deoxygenated blood enters right atrium
  • Blood enters right ventricle via tricuspid valve
  • Blood exits right ventricle via pulmonary valve
  • Blood goes to lungs via pulmonary arteries
  • Oxygenated blood returns to left atrium via pulmonary veins
  • Blood enters left ventricle via mitral valve
  • Aorta distributes blood to body
