The structures that blood flows through starting at the Right
Atrium continuing through the lungs and body ending back at
the Right Atrium
1.The blood first enters the right atrium.
2.The blood then flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.
3.When the heart beats, the ventricle pushes blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery.
4.The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs where it “picks up” oxygen.
5.It then leaves the lungs to return to the heart through the pulmonary vein.
6.The blood enters the left atrium.
7.It drops through the mitral valve into the left ventricle.
8.The left ventricle then pumps blood through the aortic valve and into the aorta. The aorta is the artery that feeds the rest of the body through a system of blood vessels
