Q

Blood flow in the heart

A

cranial and caudal vena cava deliver deoxygenated blood to the right atrium->
pushes deoxygenated blood through right AV valve into right ventricle->
pushes deoxy blood through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary trunk -> pulmonary artery (deoxygenated blood)-> lungs ->
Pulmonary vein brings oxy blood to the left atrium->
pushes oxy blood through the left AV valve(mitral, bicuspid) to the left ventricle->
pushes oxy blood through aortic valve into the aorta->
through the systemic circulation
