Use your notes over the anatomy of the heart to help you sequence the steps of the blood flow in the heart.

Blood in aorta is distributed to every organ in the body, where it unloads O2 and loads CO2.
Blood enters right atrium from superior and inferior vena cava.
Blood in right atrium flows through right AV valve (tricuspid) into right ventricle.
Blood flows through pulmonary valve into pulmonary trunk.
Blood is distributed by right and left pulmonary arteries to the lungs, where it unloads CO2 and loads O2.
Blood flows through aortic valve into ascending aorta.
Blood in left atrium flows through left AV valve (mitral) into left ventricle.
Blood returns from lungs from pulmonary veins to left atrium.

Use your notes over Heart Anatomy to answer the following questions.

a.) The heart acts as a _______ , delivering blood throughout the body and receiving it back.
b.) The heart is located in the _______  between the lungs.
c.) The apex of the heart points to the _______  and rests on the _______ .
d.) The _______  returns blood from the upper parts of the body to the _______ .
e.) Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle through the _______  valve.
f.) The heart is roughly the size of a _______  and has a _______  structure.
g.) Oxygen-rich blood is delivered to the _______ while carbon dioxide is expelled through the _______ .
h.) The left ventricle is the _______  chamber of the heart and pumps blood into the _______ .
i.) The _______  carry blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
j.) The _______  supply the heart muscle with oxygen necessary for metabolism.
