Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is the correct direction of blood flow?
A
right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery
B
right atrium, left atrium, pulmonary artery
C
left ventricle, pulmonary artery, aorta
D
left ventricle, left atrium, aorta
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The blood enters the heart’s right atrium and is pumped to your right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood to your lungs. The pulmonary artery then carries the oxygen-poor blood from your heart to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood flows through your heart from the right side to the left side and then back to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts to prevent blood flowing backwards into the atrium. Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery and flows to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pulmonary circulation transports oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle to the lungs, where blood picks up a new blood supply. Then it returns the oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
