Blood flow order through the heart |
https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/videos/1608-blood-flow-through-the-heart
Blood enters the heart through two large veins – the posterior (inferior) and the anterior (superior) vena cava – carrying deoxygenated blood from the body into the right atrium.Blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts to prevent blood flowing backwards into the atrium.Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery and flows to the lungs.The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium.Blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts to prevent blood from flowing backwards into the atrium.Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve into the aorta and to the rest of the body. |

Process of food digestion... |
Food enters the digestive system through the mouth and proceeds down to the stomach after mastication by the teeth. Once in the stomach, enzymes are secreted that begin to Digest the specific substances and food (proteins, carbohydrates, etc). Next, the food passes through the small intestine where the nutrients are absorbed And then into the large intestine where extra water is absorbed. |

The larynx, which houses the vocal chords, is positioned between the trachea and the pharynx, it is involved in swallowing, breathing, and speaking. The pharynx extends from the nose to the uppermost portions of the trachea and esophagus. In order to enter these two structures, air and other matter must pass through the pharynx. |
