- The image depicts the flow of blood through the heart.
- Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the superior and inferior vena cava.
- Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve.
- The right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs for oxygenation.
- Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins into the left atrium.
- Blood moves from the left atrium to the left ventricle through the mitral (bicuspid) valve.
- The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood through the aortic valve into the aorta, which distributes it to the systemic circulation.
