Blood vessels that supply the brain are the two carotid arteries and the two vertebral arteries.

- From the left ventricle, blood flows into the aorta and the common carotid arteries supply the frontal portion of the brain through the inner carotid arteries, which lead to blood vessels such as the three pairs of cerebral arteries (anterior, middle, posterior).

- From the left ventricle, blood flows from the arch of the aorta into the paired subclavian arteries, and then to the vertebral arteries, which supply the rear and lower parts of the brain through the basilar artery (which ends at the posterior cerebral arteries).

* Within the brain, cross-connections between these arteries (called the Circle of Willis) provide some redundancy should any of the arteries become severed or blocked.

What is the correct path of the blood in the heart?

As deoxygenated blood returns from the body, it flows from the vena cava into the right atrium. From the right atrium the blood flows into the right ventricle which pumps the blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary vein and enters the left atrium. The left atrium empties into the left ventricle which pumps the blood through the aorta and to the body.


What path does a drop of blood follow from entering the heart to leaving the heart through the aorta?

From the vena cava, blood travels into the right atrium, then the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood back to the left atrium. The blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle which pumps the blood through the aorta and to the rest of the body.

What sequence traces the path of blood that is rich in oxygen?

Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, then into the left ventricle, which pumps it out through the aorta to the rest of the body's tissues and organs.


Trace the path of blood through the heart from vena cava to the lungs?

i cnt trace it cuz this is a writing answer but the unoxygnated blood comes down through veins into the right atrium and out the right ventricle it passes the aveoli goes through the left atrium and out the left ventricle through the aorta and eventually into small capilaries

It pumps it around the body, the right atrium pumps blood to the lungs.
