The
heart beat (part 1)
1. Blood from body enters right
atrium
through
vena cava
2. Blood trickles into right
ventricle
3.
Tricuspid
valves close once pressure inside ventricle is
higher
than atrium

The
heart beat (part 2)
1. Right
ventricle
contracts from base and
semilunar
valves open to push blood to lungs
2. Blood enters
left atrium
through pulmonary vein and forces bicuspid valve to open to enter
left
ventricle
3. Contraction happens and blood is forced into
aorta
to body
