Give a brief explanation of how the heart pumps blood throughout the body
Deoxygenated blood goes through the superior vena cava to the right atrium; the tricuspid valve opens and it goes to the right ventricle. The pulmonary valve opens and the blood goes through the pulmonary artery into the lungs; the lungs oxygenate the blood; then, oxygenated blood comes from the left lung into the left atrium. The mitral valve opens and it goes into the left ventricle. The aortic valve then opens and it goes through the aorta back into the body.
