Normal blood flow through the heart

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