|---|---|
 1 | The right atrium receives blood from the great veins - the SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR VENA CAVA |
| 2 | Blood passes from the RIGHT ATRIUM through the TRICUSPID VALVE to the right ventricle. |
| 3 | From the RIGHT VENTRICLE it is pumped through the PULMONIC VALVE & PULMONARY ARTERIES to the LUNGS. |
| 4 | In the lungs carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and oxygen is picked up. |
| 5 | Through the PULMONARY VEINS oxygenated blood returns to the LEFT ATRIUM. |
| 6 | From the left atrium the blood passes through the BICUSPID OR MITRAL VALVE to the LEFT VENTRICLE. |
| 7 | As the left ventrical contracts, the pressure closes the mitral valve. |
| 8 | The AORTIC VALVE opens allowing blood to leave the heart via the main blood vessel called the AORTA. |
| 9 | When this cycle is complete, the aortic valve closes to prevent blood from dropping back into the heart. |
| 10 | The heart is two separate pumps that work together. |
| 11 | Oxygenated and nutrient rich blood is pumped around the body. (lungs, liver, kidneys, tissues and gut) |
| 12 | Deoxygenated blood which contains waste products is returned to the lungs to allow the entire cycle to begin again. |
