What is the trace of blood flow through the heart?

Blood comes into the right atrium from the body, moves into the right ventricle and is pushed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. After picking up oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out to the body's tissues through the aorta.

Which one of the following correctly traces a drop of blood through the circulatory system quizlet?

Which of the following correctly traces a drop of blood through the circulatory system? The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and the blood returns to the left atrium.

Which correctly traces the path of oxygenated blood through the heart?

The correct answer is d. Oxygenated blood reaches the left atrium of the heart via pulmonary veins. From the left atrium, it reaches the left ventricle. From here, the blood is pushed up into the aorta which supplies blood to various parts of the body through various aortic branches.

What is the correct order of blood flow through the heart quizlet?

(oxygenated) flows into the heart from the lungs by the pulmonary veins to the left atrium through the mitral valve to the left ventricle to the aorta to the general circulation.
