37
Q

Describe the path of blood flow through the heart

A

Deoxygenated blood comes from the body into the right atrium via the superior and inferior vena cava.
Contracts and pushes through tricuspid valve into right ventricle.
Passes through pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery which sends it to the lungs to be oxygenated.
Re-enters through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. Contracts and pushes into the left ventricle through the mitral (bicuspid) valve.
Exits through the aortic valve, into the aorta where it then goes first to the coronary arteries and then to the rest of the body (systemic)
