to right atrium
⑤ superior vena cava-brings blood from upper body + transports It to
right atrium
& BICUspid Valve (leftAV) allow blood from LA to LV
= +
prevents backflow
⑤ Tricuspid Value (right Avl = allows blood from RA-RV +
stops backflow
⑥ Right ventricles pumps deoxy blood
: to lungs
⑦ pulmonary = carry deoxy blood from Rvelungs
arteries
⑧ Left atrium =
receives oxy blood from lungs
