Blood flow through the 🫀⁠

Understanding how blood travels through the heart is fundamental in nursing. Here's a quick breakdown:⁠

⁠

1️⃣ Blood comes in through the SVC and IVC⁠

2️⃣ Enters into the right atrium⁠

3️⃣ Passes through the tricuspid valve⁠

4️⃣ Enters the right ventricle⁠

5️⃣ Passes through the pulmonary valve⁠

6️⃣ Enters the pulmonary artery & goes to the lungs⁠

7️⃣ Enters the pulmonary vein⁠

8️⃣ Enters the left atrium⁠

9️⃣ Passes through the mitral valve⁠

🔟 Enters the left ventricle⁠

1️⃣1️⃣ Passes through the aortic valve⁠

1️⃣2️⃣ Enters the aorta & goes to rest of body⁠

⁠

If you get this down it will help SO much with understanding cardiac disorders such as CHF. ⁠
