Detailed explanation-1: -Next is the pulmonary artery that carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The aorta is the body’s largest artery. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right ventricle (RV) pumps oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary valve (PV) into the main pulmonary artery (MPA). From there, the blood flows through the right and left pulmonary arteries into the lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood enters the right atrium and passes through the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium. From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Red blood cell arrives from the inferior vena cava into right atrium before it passes through the tricuspid valve into right ventricle. It then passes through the pulmonary valve into pulmonary artery before travelling through the lungs and back into the heart, this time the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.

Detailed explanation-5: -Red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs. Blood travels away from the heart and lungs through the arteries (ar-tuh-reez). Red blood cells drop off oxygen to the cells through tiny tubes called capillaries (cap-ill-air-ies). Blood then returns to the heart through the veins (vayns) and the cycle begins again.
