Beginning with the return from the systemic circulation, blood enters the Then the blood moves through the tricuspid valve, which is also referred to as the The right ventricle contracts, which forces blood up through the and into the After circulating through the pulmonary circulation, blood returns to the heart at the Blood then travels through the and into the right ventricle. The left ventricle then contracts and pumps blood through the into the, which transports blood to the body.

Venous blood enters the heart from the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava, as well as the coronary sinus, which converge into the right atrium. From there, blood passes through the right atrioventricular valve and enters the right ventricle. The venous blood passes through the pulmonary valve and from there branches off into the left pulmonary artery and right pulmonary artery before circulating through the lungs. After being oxygenated, the blood re-enters the heart through the pulmonary veins, which converge into the left atrium. Then the blood flows through the mitral valves into the left ventricle. From here, blood is ejected through the aortic valve into the ascending aorta before entering the arch of the aorta and finally systemic circulation.

The oxygen-rich blood leaves the lungs. It travels via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. It is pumped by the heart to the right atrium, then travels to the mesenteric artery and the digestive tract. It enters the hepatic artery and reaches the liver. It leads to the hepatic vein, coronary arteries, and the right atrium. It then travels through the superior vena cava to the aorta and the hepatic vein. The oxygen-poor blood reaches the lungs through the pulmonary artery: oxygen-rich left atrium veins.
