It always flows the same way. It leaves the heart through the Aorta. This is the largest artery in the body. The blood then branches off into progressively smaller arteries until it gets to the tissues. It enters the capillaries at the cell level and then moves into the veins. The reverse process then happens where the blood enters progressively larger arteries until it gets back to the heart where it starts the journey all over again.
