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.
