- pulmonary artery to the pulmonary artery to the aterioles
- to the pulmonary capillaries makes the oxygen exchange in the alveoli
- to the pulmonary veins to the pulmonary venules
- oxygenated blood travels from the alveoli to the capillaries to the arterioles
- blood enters thes left atrium from the pulmonary vein and flows through the
- mitral valve into the left ventricle and from the left ventricle
- through the aortic valve to the coronary artery to the
- through the aorta
