Study Notes

  • Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through both vena cavas
  • Deoxygenated blood is pooled in the right atrium
  • It is then pushed through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.
  • Deoxygenated blood in the right ventricle flows through the pulmonic valve
  • The blood flows into the lungs and becomes oxygenated
  • The oxygenated blood returns to the heart via pulmonary veins
  • The oxygenated blood gathers in the left atrium
  • Then the oxygenated blood flows through the mitral valve into the left ventricle
  • Then the oxygenated blood flows through the aortic valve into the aorta
  • Oxygenated blood is then pumped out of the heart, through the aorta
