Right side * Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium. * As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve. * When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricle contracts. * As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs where it is oxygenated. Left side * The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium. * As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve. * When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atrium while the ventricle contracts. * As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.

Where does the blood pumped out of the right atrum go to?
The blood then flows into to the right ventricle, and out into the pulmonary artery through the pulmonic valve.
Can blood go backwards from the right ventricle to the right atrium?
Yes, blood can flow backwards from the right ventricle to the right atrium in a condition known as tricuspid valve regurgitation. This occurs when the valve between the right ventricle and right atrium does not close properly, allowing some blood to flow back into the atrium.
What is the sequence of oxygen carbon dioxide and the blood stream?
When we inhale, the blood in the capillaries in our lungs will get the oxygen (the blood will be oxygenated) and it will go to the heart, first in the left atrium,mitral valve,left ventricle and to the aortic valve that will transport it to the different parts of body. Then, when the blood is deoxygenated, it will go to the inferior vena cava, right atrium,tricuspid valve,right ventricle, and pulmonary veins and the deoxygenated blood will go to the capillaries in our lungs and transport the carbon dioxide to the alveoli and we exhale it.
Do placentals have a four chambered heart?
Yes, placental mammals, which include humans, have a four-chambered heart that pumps oxygenated blood to the body and deoxygenated blood to the lungs. This type of heart is an efficient design that allows for separation of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood.
If the tendinous cord is not present and the right ventricle is contracted where would blood go?
The blood would go back up into the right atrium instead of preceding to the pulmonary arteries because the tendinous cords cause the tricuspid valve to open and close based on which state of the cardiac cycle the heart is in.
Where does blood go from the right atrium?
right ventricle
Where does blood go after it leave the right atrium?
Right ventricle
Where does the blood go to once it leaves the right atrium?
Blood stream
Where does blood go from the inferior vena cava?
Right atrium
Is blood in the right atrium high in oxygen or carbon dioxide?
In normal human adult physiology, the CO2 concentration in the right atrium is relatively high (typically 46mmHg). In contrast, after exchange in the lungs, blood entering the left atrium has a CO2 concentration of roughly 40 mmHg. This will be different in some heart conditions and fetal circulation.
Where does the blood go after leaving the right atrium?
right ventricle
Where does blood from the right atrium go to in the right side of the heart and then to what artery?
right atrium -> right ventricle -> pulmonary artery -> pulmonary vein -> left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta
Where does the blood go next after it goes to the right atrium?
In the mammalian (and avian) heart, blood passes directly from the atria into the corresponding ventricles. So blood from the right atrium next enters the right ventricle.
Where does the Right Atrium blood of the heart go to?
both the lungs for purification
When blood leaves the left side of the heart it is full of?
Blood entering the right atrium is full of carbon dioxide; that is, it is deoxygenated. From there it enters the right ventricle and is pumped to the lungs, where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen via the process known as respiration (simply put, breathing). The now-oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium of the heart, progresses to the left ventricle, and is pumped throughout the body before returning go the right atrium.
Which part of the heart receives blood from the lungs?
The left atrium of the heart receives oxygented blood from the pulmonary veins returning oxygenated blood to the heart.
Where does blood returning to the heart go?
When your blood comes back to your heart it goes into the right atrium.
