pathway of blood flow Flashcards
What is the pathway of deoxygenated blood?
inferior/superior vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk, right and left pulmonary arteries, to the lungs
What is the pathway of oxygenated blood?
right/left pulmonary veins, left atrium, bicuspid (mitral) valve, right ventricle, aortic valve, aorta (aortic arch), brachiocephalic/left common carotid artery/left subclavian artery/descending aorta, to the body
What are the three arteries off of the aorta?
brachiocephalic (to right common carotid and right subclavian), left common carotid, left subclavian
What are the four valves?
