You're better off with a diagram, but I'll try...

Blood enters from the right through the vena cava into the right atrium. The tricuspid valves let it into the right ventricle. From there the semilunar valves let it into the pulmonary artery. From there it goes to the lungs, and returns, oxygenated, in the pulmonary vein, entering on the far left. It goes into the left atrium and then is let into the left ventricle by the bicuspid valves. From there it goes through the semilunar valves to the aorta and from there to the rest of the body.

Tubes that blood traves through?

Blood vessels are the tubes through which blood travels. They include veins, capillaries, and arteries.


Why do you think the heart needs the coronary arteries to supply it with blood when blood is always flowing through the heart's chambers?

The chambers of the heart function as a pump; they do not utilize the blood that passes through because it is moving far too quickly and turbulently. Blood must run through capillaries at lower speeds/volumes in order to be used by cells. The coronary arteries branch repeatedly to produce a vast network of capillaries that supply the cardiac muscle cells.


What information is gained from a cardiac catheterization?

This procedure gathers information such as adequacy of blood supply through the coronary arteries, blood pressures, blood flow throughout chambers of the heart, collection of blood samples, and x rays of the heart's ventricles or arteries.


Why are blood vessels found in the epicardium?

The blood that flows through the heart chambers doesn't diffuse through the endothelium so it is necessary for the heart to have its own blood supply which are supplied through the coronary arteries on the surface of the heart or epicardium.

What are the pumping chambers of he heart?

They are the 2 chambers on the top, the atria. The right atrium takes venous blood from the body, and the left atrium collects blood coming from the lungs where it has been oxygenated. The serious pumping happens in the ventricles, the 2 chambers below the atria. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps the blood out into the body, both pumping at the same time. This is the basic blood pathway: The blood can be traced from the body tissues to the capillaries, venules, and veins. At the the biggest vein the Vena Cavae, it then goes into the heart's -- Right Atrium-- Right Ventricle-- Then the Lungs to pick up oxygen -- Left Atrium-- Left Ventricle-- Into the Aorta, the largest artery, and then throughout the body by way of the rest of the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and then, finally, back into the body tissues again, but now carrying oxygen.
