A
Leeds deoxygenated blood back to right atrium
2
Q

Blood is pushed through the tricuspid valve
3

Valve= blood is leaving heart through this to artery. Artery= goes through here to lungs and is oxygenated.
6
Q
Pulmonary vein?

Blood comes here after it left lungs. Pushes back to left atrium.
7
Q
Left atrium?
A
Contracts and pushes through bicuspid valve.
8
Q
Bicuspid valve?
A
Pushes through to left ventricle. Prevents back flow.
9
Q
Aortic valve and aorta?
A
Valve= pushes through to aorta. Aorta= blood goes around whole body and is used up and process restarts.
