- The Pathway Of Blood Through The Heart
- 1. blood returns from the body through the vena cava
- 2. deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium
- 3. deoxygenated blood passes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle
- 2. deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium
- 4. deoxygenated blood is pumped through pulmonary arteries to the lungs. The semilunar valves prevent blood re-entering the heart
- 5. blood is oxygenated in the lungs
- 6. oxygenated blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins
- 7. oxygenated blood enters the left atrium of the heart
- 8. oxygenated blood passes through the bicuspid valve and into the left ventricle
- 9. oxygenated blood is pumped through the aorta to the muscles and organs of the body
- 9. The semilunar valves prevent blood re - entering the heart.

- KEY WORDS:
- Vena cava - the large vein entering the right atrium of the blood back from the body to the heart
- Tricuspid - a one way gate that separates the right atrium from the right ventricle
- Pulmonary artery - the artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
- Semilunar valves - one way gate at the entrance to the aorta and pulmonary artery, which prevent the backflow of blood into the heart
- Pulmonary Vein - the vein that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
- Bicuspid Valve - a one way gate that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle
- Aorta - The artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body
