The passage of blood through the heart Step 1De-oxygenated blood (coloured purple in this diagram) returns to the heart through the large veins called the Venae Cavae. The blood enters the right auricle, and passes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. It is then pumped through the semi-lunar valve into the pulmonary artery and into the lungs where it loses carbon dioxide and picks up fresh oxygen. Step 2 The oxygenated blood (coloured red in this diagram) returns to the heart from the lungs through the pulmonary vein into the left auricle. It passes through the bicuspid valve and into the left ventricle. It is pumped through the semi-lunar valve into the aorta, and out to the rest of the body through the arteries.
