Answer:
You did not provide a figure, but you can refer to the attached picture and match it up with your figure.
The heart has 4 chambers. It has the left and right Atrium (plural is atria) and the left and right ventricle.
The blood FROM the body going towards the heart is deoxygenated. It empties into the RIGHT ATRIUM. From there, it goes through the tricuspid valve then empties into the RIGHT VENTRICLE. The right ventricle then pumps the blood up into the pulomonary artery, and goes towads the lungs to be oxygenated. The oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs via the pumonary vein and it empties the blood into the LEFT ATRIUM. From there the blood goes through the bicuspid valve and pours into the LEFT VENTRICLE. The left ventricle pumps the blood up the aorta and from there, it goes to the different parts of the body.
In summary:
BODY ---> RIGHT ATRIUM ---> RIGHT VENTRICLE ---> LEFT ATRIUM ---> LEFT VENTRICLE
Take note though that this is the pathway with regards to ONLY the chambers.
