Blood flows from the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated. From there it flows to the pulmonary vein to the left atrium and ventricle, then to the aorta.
Systemic circuit- blood flow in the body Coronary circuit- blood flow in the heart Pulmonary circuit - blood flow in the lungs
Pulmonary circulation (between the heart and lungs) Systematic circulation (between the heart and the rest of the body) Coronary circulation (the heart's own blood supply/supply to cardiac tissue)
Yes, blood from both the inferior and the superior vena cava flow into the right atrium. Blood from the pulmonary veins coming from the lungs flow into the left atrium.
The pulmonary circuit is blood flow movements from the pulmonary trunk to the left atrium...while the systemic circuit is a continuation from the left atrium all the way to the right atrium.......... Disclaimer [research for detailed blood movements in pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit if this isn't enough].

Decreased pulmonary blood flow alone does not cause cyanosis. It is when decreased pulmonary blood flow is associated with right to left shunting (ie Tetralogy of fallot) that it is associated with cyanosis.
The Pulmonary Semilunar Valve allows blood from the right atrium into the pulmonary trunk.
