The right chamber are separated by the ______

Tricuspid valve
The _____ of the _______ is guarded by a _______

Base; pulmonary trunk; pulmonary valve
Receives blood from pulmonary veins

The left atrium
The left chambers are separated by the

Bicuspid valve
Carries blood away from the heart

Arteries
Carries blood back to the heart

Veins
The flow of blood through the body is a

continuous loop
Blood flow in oxygen enters the right atrium from the inferior and superior vena cave

Step 1
Blood passes through the tricuspid valve in the right ventricle

Step 2
From the right ventricle blood pressure through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary trunk (artery)

Step 3
Blood enters the capillaries in the lungs associated with the alvcoli. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged

Step 4
The freshly oxygenated blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins, which leads into the left atrium

Step 5
Blood then moves through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle

Step 6
From the left ventricle blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta and its branches

Step 7
Blood travels throughout the body parts and returns back to the right atrium by the vena cava

Step 8
