Describe the blood flow pattern of blood through the heart.Include all valves.
Deoxygenated blood come in from the Superior or Inferior vena cava.It then goes into the right atrium, through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle.It then goes through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery. Deoxygenated blood goes to the lungs to become oxygenated. Oxygenated blood comes back through the pulmonary veins,where it goes to the left atrium. It then passes through the mitral valve to the left ventricle. It then goes through the aortic valve to the aorta, where it goes to the different parts of the body.
