Intro
This review only includes the basic anatomy
components of the heart. The veins and arteries
that are included are the major arteries and
veins needed for circulation. Please review as
many times as needed because the blood flow can
not be understood until the anatomy is learned.
Remember not to stress out and have fun!

correct name, only click on the question mark
after you have identified it yourself. Press the
Empty Heart button and NOT the next arrow to
continue reviewing!!!! When you feel comfortable
with the anatomy you can click the link to the

Intro
One important thing that you must keep in mind is
that understanding blood flow of the heart is
very complicated, even if this review only covers
the basics, it can still get complicated.
Dont Stress Out, just review until you feel
comfortable.
24
Directions
Carefully review each part and how it relates to
blood flow. Trace the arrows as you read through
the steps. After reviewing each part and tracing
the blood flow, recite in chronological order how
the blood flows. When you feel comfortable with t
he information, click on the link to the quiz.

Blood coming from the different parts of the body
may enter the heart either through the Superior
or Inferior Vena Cava. This is the path that it
takes Superior/inferior vena cava Right Atrium
Tricuspid Valve Right Ventricle Pulmonary
Valve Pulmonary Arteries Out to the lungs
Blood coming from the lungs enter the heart
through the Pulmonary veins. This is the path
that it takes Pulmonary veins Left Atrium Mitr

to the body
