Question

How does blood get around the body from the heart? What pieces of the heart does the blood go through?

Answer 1

Blood enters the heart through 2 large veins , the inferior and superior vena cava.

Answer 2

Their are four main valves in your heart. I think it’s common sense that blood gets through your body through veins that come from the arteries of the heart. The blood comes in through the Right atrium, into the right ventricle, up into the pulmonary artery, and into the lungs. When it reaches the lungs it becomes oxygen rich blood. It goes into the second chamber of the heart into the left atrium, down into the left ventricle, up into the aorta, which then pumps blood throughout the whole body. Terms that pump blood- right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, left atrium, left ventricle, and aorta.
