    Study Notes

    Blood Flow Through the Heart

    • Blood begins as deoxygenated, entering the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava.
    • Flow proceeds through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.
    • The right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary semi-lunar valve.
    • The pulmonary artery transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
    • In the lungs, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.
    • Oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins.
    • The blood enters the left atrium before moving through the bicuspid (mitral) valve.
    • Blood then flows into the left ventricle, where it is prepared for systemic circulation.
    • The left ventricle ejects blood through the aortic semi-lunar valve.
    • Finally, oxygenated blood is distributed to the body through the aorta.
