Q

Blood circulation through the heart

A

Venous or deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium of the heart by the superior and inferior vena cava.

From right atrium blood is forced down to the right ventricle through the tricuspid or atrioventricular valve

Blood exits the right ventricle through the pulmonary valve to pulmonary arteries then to the lungs

Oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins to left atrium

From the left atrium, blood is forced into the left ventricle through the mitral valve

From left ventricle, arterial blood exits through the aorta and to the systemic circulation
