the blood starts at the right ventricle then goes to the semi lunar valve to the lungs via the pulmonary artery then from the lungs back to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein then through the bicuspid/ av valve to the left ventricle to the semi lunar valve through the aorta back to the body through the vena cave then to the right atrium through the tricuspid valve back to the right ventricle

∙ 14y agoVena Cava returns blood to the right atrium.
That is true.
There are at least two more vessels in addition to the Superior and Inferior vena cavae:
The coronary sinus: Returns venous blood from most of the myocardium
The anterior cardiac veins: Return venous blood from the right anterior portion of the myocardium

Flow of blood from small intestine to right atrium of heart?
arteries dont lead the blood to the heart to pump the blood veins do!
Starting at the right atrium in what order does blood flow through the four chambers?
The Deoxygenated blood flows from the body into the right atrium. Oxygenated blood from the lungs flows into the left atrium. Since frogs have only one ventricle, the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mixes in the ventricle. From there, blood flows into the truncus arteriosus that contains a spiral valve to separate and lead the blood out into the body.
What are the names of the veins that lead blood into the right atrium?
The inferior and superior vena cava.
What is the role of the tricuspid valve?
The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart between the right atrium and ventricle. The purpose of the valve is to close when the ventricle pumps blood into the pulmorary arteries that lead to the lungs. The bicuspid valve, or mitral valve, functions similarly to maintain blood flow in one direction only. The bicuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart. Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle is pumped throughout the body as the mitral valve stays closed during compression.
Where will all venous emboli go?
All veins lead to the right atrium of the heart. After the right atrium, blood goes into the right ventricle then the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. All venous emboli will eventually end up in the lungs.
In mammals what will blood returning from the head pass through just before entering the right atrium?
The veins from some parts of the body converge into two major pathways, the superior and inferior venae cavae, which lead to the right atrium.
What happens when the ventricles of your contract?
The "beat" of your heart is the contraction of the right and left ventricles. The right atrium passes blood from the body into the right ventricle -- when the ventricle contracts, it forces shut the valve leading back to the atrium, and the blood is pushed into the pulmonary arteries that lead to the lungs. The blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium, and flows into the left ventricle. When the left ventricle contracts, the blood is pushed out of the ventricle into the aorta, the body's main artery, to be carried through the arterial system to the various parts of the body.
Function of great cardiac vein?
The great cardiac vein is one of the largest veins in the body. It is located in the heart, leading away from the coronary sinus. It's function is to lead blood that has had the oxygen removed from it away from the heart.
Where would pressure be caused by stenosis of the mitral valve?
There will be higher pressure in the left atrium, when there is mitral stenosis. There will dilatation of the left atrium as well as there will hypertrophy of the left atrium. There will raise in the pulmonary veins. This will lead to pulmonary edema. This will eventually lead to high pressure in pulmonary arteries. That is called as pulmonary hypertension. The pressure in right ventricle will increase. Then the pressure in the right atrium will increase. Then the pressure in the systemic venous side will increase. This will lead to right sided heart failure.

What happens to the septum when it has a hole in it?
Some times the foramen ovale does not seal. Then you have blood flow from left atrium to right atrium. So there is more blood flow through the lungs. This may lead to pulmonary hypertension, with it's sequels.
