Describe how blood flows through the body

oxygenated blood enters left atrium, goes into left ventricle, blood pumps through aorta, goes through arteries then arterioles then capillaries, deoxygenated blood goes through veins and enters caudal vena cava, deoxygenated blood enters right atrium, goes into right ventricle, goes through pulmonary arteries then pulmonary arterioles then pulmonary capillaries, oxygenated blood enters pulmonary veins and then enters left atrium
