Blood is carried from the body to the heart via the Super Vena cavaIt enters the heart first into the right atrium before going through the right atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve into the right ventricle It then goes via the right semilunar valve (pulmonary valve) into the pulmonary artery and into the lungs to become oxygenated and then back to the heart via the pulmonary veins.It then enters the left atrium, goes through the left atrioventricular valve (mitral) into the left ventricle and finally leaves the heart via the left semilunar (aortic) valve into the aorta to go to the rest of the body
