Practice Question

From deoxygenated blood entering the heart to oxygenated blood leaving the heart, in which order will the blood pass through the following valves?

Answer Choices:

Rationale:

✨ Blood enters the heart as deoxygenated blood through the right atrium and passes first through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.

✨ From the right ventricle, it is pumped through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary arteries and toward the lungs for oxygenation.

✨ Oxygenated blood then returns to the left atrium and passes through the bicuspid (mitral) valve into the left ventricle.

✨ Finally, it is ejected through the aortic valve into the systemic circulation.

✨ This sequence ensures proper one-way blood flow through the heart and into the body.
