explain the heart circulation
blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior venea cave and coronary sinus. then blood passes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. From the right ventricle blood flows to the pulmonary artery and then to the lungs. From the lungs oxygenated blood flows through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium through the mitral valve to the left ventricle. As the heart contracts, blood is ejected through the aortic valve into
