Detailed explanation-1: -When the right ventricle contracts, blood is forced through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery. Then it travels to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood receives oxygen then leaves through the pulmonary veins. It returns to the heart and enters the left atrium.

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: -The right ventricle pumps the blood under low pressure through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery. From there the blood goes to the lungs where it gets fresh oxygen (C).

Detailed explanation-4: -The pulmonary valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The mitral valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle. The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta.

Detailed explanation-5: -Deoxygenated blood comes from the body and goes to the right atrium. The blood then travels through the TRICUSPID VALVE to get to the right ventricle. Once the right ventricle contracts, this blood is then pumped through the PULMONARY SEMILUNAR VALVE to the pulmonary arteries which will carry the blood to the lungs.
