Q

what do the pulmonary veins do

Q

explain the process of blood flow

A

once the right atrium is full deoxygenated blood is going to the tricuspid valve to fill the right ventricle which contracts and then moves blood through the pulmonic valve which then travels through the pulmonary arteries and sends it to the lungs. after it sends it to the lungs, oxygenated blood is then carried from the left side to fill the left atrium and fill the mitral valve into the left ventricle then the aortic valve then the aorta and then a body cell and from there the superior and inferior vena cavas
