Q
Normal blood flow through the heart
A
- Superior & inferior vena cava ( 2 major veins that supply blood to the right side of the heart - this blood is deoxygenated )
- Right atrium (RA)
- Right ventricle
- pulmonary artery (carries deoxygenated blood)
- Lungs (gets oxygenated)
- Pulmonary veins (carry oxygenated blood)
- Left atrium (LA)
- Left ventricle ( LV)(big bad pump)
- Aorta
- Body ( oxygenated blood is delivered through out the body through the arterial system where eventually it ties back to the venous system)
