Route of Blood
Through the Heart |
|
Definition
blood returns to the heart by the inferior and superior vena cava to the right atrium
from the right atrium it travels to the right ventricle
from the right ventricle it is pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs
at the lungs CO2 is exchanged for O2
blood returns to the heart from the lungs through the pulmonary veins
blood returns to the heart from the lungs to the left atrium
blood travels from the left atrium to the left ventricle
blood is pumped from the left ventricle through the aorta to all parts of the body |

A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole in the heart that didn't close the way it should after birth.
During fetal development, a small flap-like opening — the foramen ovale (foh-RAY-mun oh-VAY-lee) — is usually present between the right and left upper chambers of the heart. It normally closes during infancy. When the foramen ovale doesn't close, it's called a patent foramen ovale. |
