Blood Flow Through the Heart

The path of blood through the heart and blood vessels. It starts with deoxygenated blood entering the right atrium, then the right ventricle, then to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Oxygenated blood then returns to the left atrium, then the left ventricle, and finally is pumped out to the body.
