systemic circuit

• bicuspid/mitral valve

• oxygenated blood returns to heart via pulmonary veins

• l. atrium and l. ventricle

• aorta

• oxygenated blood distributed to body’s tissues through arteries

• lungs → l. side of heart → body to deliver O₂ to systems

pulmonary circuit

• r. side of heart receives and pumps deoxygenated blood

• deoxygenated blood returns to heart through superior and inferior vc

• blood flows into r. atrium and r. ventricle

• r. ventricle pumps blood through pulmonary artery

• pulmonary artery goes to lungs

• blood oxygenated in lungs

• from body → r. side of heart → lungs
