This assignment provides a detailed explanation of how blood flows through the heart, incorporating key anatomical terms such as the superior and inferior vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary arteries, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, ascending aorta, aortic arch, brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery, descending aorta, thoracic aorta, abdominal aorta, iliac arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. The flow begins with deoxygenated blood entering the right atrium via the superior and inferior vena cava, then passing through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, which pumps it through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary arteries towards the lungs for oxygenation. Oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins, passes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle, and is finally pumped through the aortic valve into the aorta for systemic circulation.
