Describe the cardiac cycle.

- Deoxygenated blood from the body goes into the right atrium by the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava - The right atrium contracts pumping blood into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve - Once the tricuspid valve fills with blood it closes to prevent back flow -The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open as blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery -Blood then travels to the lungs and the pulmonary valves close while the right atrium relaxes at the same time -
