    it contracts and closes the tricuspid valves and forces blood through the pulmonary artery via the semi lunar valve
  • where does the blood go once in the pulmonary artery
    it will be transported to the lungs to become oxygenated
  • where does the blood go once it is oxygenated in the lungs

    it will pass though the pulmonary vein to get back to the heart

  • when the left atrium contracts and pushes the blood into the left ventricle what valve will it pass through
