Order Of Blood Flow- Circulatory System Flashcards
Blood enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cavas
Blood in the right atrium
Blood moved to right ventricle
Blood leaves right ventricle and is pumped into the pulmonary trunk
From the pulmonary trunk into the pulmonary artery
From the pulmonary artery highlighter here, to the lungs in order to oxygenate
Blood leaves the lungs oxygenated and enters the left heart through the pulmonary veins
Note the red veins attached to the pulmonary veins are lung veins
Pulmonary veins pump its oxygenated arterial blood (blood from the arteries) into the left atrium first.
Kind of an Anterior view image of left atrium
Posterior view, notice how the pulmonary veins from earlier are connected the left atrium
Oxygenated Blood goes from left atrium to left ventricle
Anterior view
Posterior view
Oxygenated Blood leaves left heart through the aorta for distribution to the rest of the body (systemic cycle)
Apart from the SVC & IVC, blood also enters the right atrium through the coronary sinus
We have valves in between the atrium and ventricles, blood enters from the right atrium into the right ventricle the tricuspid valve
Notice its the left valve
Blood leaves the right ventricle into the PULMONARY VALVE then to the pulmonary arteries
Highlighted here is the pulmonary valve and trunk, which then will lead to the pulmonary artery
Between left atrium and left ventricle we have the MITRAL VALVE
Notice its the right valve
Leaving the left ventricle, the blood enters the aortic valve then the aorta
