MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood comes into the right atrium from the body, moves into the right ventricle and is pushed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. After picking up oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out to the body’s tissues through the aorta.

Detailed explanation-2: -From the capillaries, blood passes into venules, then into veins to return to the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts to prevent blood from flowing backwards into the atrium. Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve into the aorta and to the rest of the body.
