Answer:

Right side

Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium.

As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.

When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricle contracts.

As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs where it is oxygenated.

Left side

The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium.

As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve.

When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atrium while the ventricle contracts.

As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.

Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the superior and inferior vena cava, which deliver deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium.

  1. Right Atrium: The right atrium receives the deoxygenated blood and contracts to push it through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.
  2. Right Ventricle: The right ventricle receives the deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and contracts to push it through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery.
  3. Pulmonary Artery: The pulmonary artery carries the deoxygenated blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
  4. Pulmonary Veins: The oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins, which deliver it to the left atrium.
  5. Left Atrium: The left atrium receives the oxygenated blood and contracts to push it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle.
  6. Left Ventricle: The left ventricle receives the oxygenated blood from the left atrium and contracts to push it through the aortic valve into the aorta.
  7. Aorta: The aorta carries the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body, where it delivers oxygen and nutrients and removes carbon dioxide and waste products.

This process is repeated continuously throughout a person's life, with the heart working to pump blood through the circulatory system and maintain the body's vital functions.
