    The document summarizes blood flow through the circulatory system in 8 steps: 1) deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium, 2) the right atrium contracts and the blood flows to the right ventricle, 3) the right ventricle contracts to pump the blood to the lungs, 4) the blood receives oxygen in the lung capillaries, 5) oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium, 6) the left atrium contracts to fill the left ventricle, 7) the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body, 8) the blood delivers oxygen and nutrients throughout the body before returning to the heart.

    Original Description:

    Here is a brief explanation of how our blood flows through our circulatory system.

    blood

    deoxy .

    7 1. deoxygenated blood from body tissues


    enter the RA via the SVC and IVC

    § 2. the RA contracts ,
    forcing deoxy . blood

    through the tricuspid valve and into

    the RV

    3. the RV contracts to propel the blood

    through the pulmonary valve and into

    the pulmonary arteries


    4. the put arteries carry blood away
    .

    from the heart to the capillary beds


    É where
    gas exchange occurs

    5. In thecap beds , the blood unloads


    .

    deg'd↑ coz and loads oxygen

    6. Oxygenated blood returns to the LA

    via the pulmonary veins .


    The LA

    Blood Flow Through


    contracts , the blood through
    pushing
    the mitral valve and into the LV

    the 7. the LV contracts to pump blood through


    the aortic valve to the rest of the body
    circulatory system via the aorta

    8. the blood flowing through systemic


    blood vessels delivers nutrients + oxygen
    to the body tissues before returning
    to the heart
