The deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. The deoxygenated blood then goes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. From the right ventricle the deoxygenated blood flows through the pulmonary valve to the lungs to be oxygenated. The blood goes to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries to get to the lungs. At the lungs diffusion (movement of things between a higher concentration and a lower concentration) occurs and the higher concentration of oxygen in the lungs (more specifically alveoli) goes to the lower concentration of oxygen in the capillaries (extremely small blood vessels). The same thing occurs with Carbon Dioxide except it is going from the capillaries from the lungs. The now oxygenated blood flows from the lungs to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins, where it is sent to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. From the left ventricle the oxygenated blood goes through the aortic valve, into the aorta, and all throughout out the body.

What is the blood flow from kidney to diaphragm?

The blood flow from the kidney to the diaphragm follows the path of the renal artery carrying oxygenated blood to the kidney for filtration. Once the blood is filtered in the kidney, it travels back to the heart through the renal vein. From the heart, the blood is pumped to the lungs for oxygenation and then circulated to the diaphragm and the rest of the body.


Do the aortic and pulmonary valves control the flow of the blood into the heart?

No, semilunar valves control the flow of blood out of the heart.
