Q

Circulation through the Heart

A

• Deoxygenated blood is received by right atrium
• Via superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and coronary sinus
• Blood enters right ventricle and is ejected into pulmonary trunk
• Pulmonary trunk divides to form pulmonary arteries that deliver blood to lungs
• Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs to left atrium
