Blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the open what?
A
Pulmonary Valve
B
Chordae Tendineae
C
Tricuspid Valve
D
Bicuspid Valve
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood first enters the heart’s right atrium. A muscle contraction forces the blood through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts, blood is forced through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery. Then it travels to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tricuspid heart valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle and allows deoxygenated blood to flow between them.

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.
