BLOOD CIRCULATION THROUGH THE HEART
There are 4 valves of the heart.
2 on the right and 2 on the left.
Right side has the tricuspid valve that divides the right atrium and right ventricle. Blood travels through this valve to settle in the Right Ventricle.
And the Pulmonary valve that takes deoxygenated blood to the R and L Lung
Left side has the mitral valve and the Aorta valve.
Mitral valve divides the Left Atrium and Left Ventricle,-Oxygenated Blood goes through this valve to settle in the left Ventricle.
Aorta valve sends blood to the systemic body (circulation)
Cardiac circulation in sequence
Deoxygenated blood from both the Inferior and superior Vena cava enter into the Right atrium/
It then travels through the tricuspid valve into the Right Ventricle.
Once the Right ventricle fills the tricuspid valve shuts causing an isolated chamber of the Right ventricle.
The right ventricle builds up pressure which will then forces the blood to travel through the Pulmonary trunk through the pulmonary artery through the pulmonary valve to go to the Right and left Lung to be oxygenated.
Once in the Lungs it will he oxygenated blood then travels to the Left Atrium through the Pulmonary Vein and to the Left Ventricle through the Mitral valve.
Once the left ventricle fills the mitral valve shuts. the left ventricle becomes isolated.
The pressure increases in the L ventricle and travels through the Aortic valve through the Aorta to the systemic circulation,
UNDERSTANDING CPR WELL IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS DOING IT WELL.”
