The heart

Cards (3)

  • The atria are the upper chambers of the heart that receive blood.
  • Oxygenated blood then returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary vein.
  • Pulmonary circulation involves deoxygenated blood flowing from the right ventricle to the lungs via the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary artery) and returning as oxygenated blood to the left atrium via the four pulmonary veins.
