What is the fifth path of blood through the heart?
A
the valves between the atria and ventricles shut & blood moves to vessels
B
atria contract
C
ventricle contract
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -the mitral valve, between the left atrium and left ventricle; and. the aortic valve, between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.
