Blood flows from the superior and inferior vena cava into the right atrium, then through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, then through the semiluar valves into the pulmonary artery,lung,the pulmonary vein,the left atrium,the mitral valve the left ventricle,and finally through the aortic valve into the aorta.
