Blood flows from the ____ atrium into the ____ ventricles to open the the Tricuspid Valve
A
left, left
B
right, right
C
right, left
D
left, right
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your tricuspid valve opens to let blood travel from your right atrium to your right ventricle. When your right ventricle is full it squeezes, which closes your tricuspid valve and opens your pulmonary valve. Blood flows through your pulmonary artery to your lungs, where it gets oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -As pressure changes in the right atrium and right ventricle, the tricuspid heart valve closes. The right ventricle then contracts and pumps the deoxygenated blood through the pulmonary valve and into the lungs, where the blood is oxygenated.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve.
