Flow of Blood through the heart - ANSWER 1. right atrium fills with blood
2. contracts- tricuspid valve
3. right ventricle fills with blood
4. contracts- closes tricuspid valve/opens pulmonary valve
5. blood goes through pulmonary artery to the lungs
6. pulmonary veins returns blood to left atrium
7. contracts-mitral valve
8. left ventricle fills with blood
9. Contracts- forces blood through aortic valve into aorta and then the
peripheral circulation.
