Exam 1: Blood Flow Through the Heart (put in the correct order)

Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from superior vena cava and inferior vena cava

1

Deoxygenated blood flows from right atrium, across tricuspid valve, into right ventricle

2

Blood leaves right ventricle via pulmonary valve and enters pulmonary artery

3

Deoxygenated blood arrives at lungs via right & left pulmonary artery

4

Oxygenated blood leaves lungs from right and left pulmonary veins and enters left atrium

5

Blood flows from left atrium, across bicuspid/mitral valve into left ventricle

6

Blood from left ventricle is ejected, across aortic valve, into aorta

7

Blood is pumped out of the aorta

8

Blood exits the heart from aortic branches into the rest of the body
