Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the lungs, the blood receives oxygen then leaves through the pulmonary veins. It returns to the heart and enters the left atrium. From there, blood is forced through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. This is the muscular pump that sends blood out to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the bicuspid valve. From the left ventricle, blood is pumped into the aorta, through the aortic semilunar valve.
Detailed explanation-3: -The left side of the heart receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs, then pumps blood out to the rest of the body’s tissues, through the aorta.
