|
Pathway of blood through the heart |
Blood goes into right atrium then goes through tricuspid valve into right ventricle. Once RV is full it then flows through the pulmonary valve into the lungs to recieve oxygen. Once oxygenated the blood then goes into the left atrium. Once Left Atrium is full it moves into left ventricle via the bicuspid/mitral valve into Left Ventricle. Blood then goes into aorta and body via the aortic valve. |
