Blood Tracing Frames 1-677 Flashcards
From the right atrium the blood passed through a valve known as the
Tricuspid valve
The blood flows through the tricuspid valve into the
Right ventricle
From the right ventricle the blood passes through the
Semilunar valves
After passing through the semilunar valves, the blood enters the
Pulmonary artery
The pulmonary artery carries the blood to the
Lungs
In the lungs the pulmonary artery subdivides into many tiny branches called
Capillaries
The capillaries in the lungs are in direct contact with many tiny air sacs called
Alveoli
As the blood flows around the scroll, it picks up _______ and at the same time gives off _________

The blood flows through the capillaries, around the alveoli, and then enters the
Pulmonary veins
The pulmonary veins then carry blood away from the
Lungs
The pulmonary _________ carries the blood to the lungs
Artery

Veins
The pulmonary veins carry the blood to the ____ ________ of the heart
Left atrium
From the left atrium the blood passes through the
Bicuspid valve
