Describe/List the pathway that blood takes through the heart, and the pulmonary and systemic circuits. Be sure to include the names of the major blood vessels that bring blood to and take blood away from the heart, the chambers and valves blood flows through in the heart, and which chambers and blood vessels carry oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood.

describe the blood flow through the systemic and pulmonary circuits. Point out where along the way the blood flows through arteries versus veins, and along which stretch the blood is oxygenated and deoxygenated.
Sri K.
Describe the passage of blood through the heart and lungs, starting with the blood that returns to the heart, and ending with the blood that leaves the heart to be pumped around the body. Name the structures that it must pass through on its journey, and mention whether the blood vessels involved carry oxygenated or deoxygenated blood
Suman K.
Describe the blood flow through the heart, starting with the blood flow entering from the vena cava and ending with its return. Simplify the flow outside the heart to the pulmonary circuit or systemic circuit. Include which valves the blood flows through as it moves through the cardiovascular system.
