Show transcript
Deoxygenated blood travels from the body through the vena cava into the right atrium then down to the right ventricle.
From the right ventricle blood is pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs for oxygenation.
The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium, then to the left ventricle.
From the left ventricle blood is pumped out through the aorta to be distributed throughout the body.
Valves in the heart prevent the backflow of blood.
