let's go through the blood flow of the heart blood flow always starts on the right side of the heart now on your screen it looks like I'm talking about the left but it's flipped I'm really talking about the right side of the heart so just keep that in mind so on the right side your heart is dealing with deoxygenated blood this means that your blood is really low in oxygen but high in carbon dioxide and the whole goal of the right side is to get this deoxygenated blood to the lungs so it can give it some oxygen and remove that carbon dioxide so this deoxygenated blood is going to flow into that right side through the superior vnea and the inferior vnea it's going to go into the right atrium the right atrium is the top chamber of the heart then it's going to flow down through the truspa valve the truspa valve is one of two atrio ventricular valves atrio ventricular valves they connect your top chamber your Atria to your bottom Chambers your ventricles once it flows down through the chuspa valve it's going to go down into the right ventricle the right ventricle is going to push the blood up through another valve which is known as the pulmonic valve or the pulmonary valve and this is one of two semi lunar valves and your semi lunar valves connect your great vessels to the bottom chambers of your heart your ventricles so that blood flows up through there into the pulmonary artery the pulmonary artery is going to take this deoxygenated blood away from the heart because that's what arteries do take it away from the heart and send it to the lung lungs where your lungs are going to take that deoxygenated blood remove that excessive carbon dioxide that you're going to Exhale out and it's going to replenish it with oxygen so that oxygen that you took in then it's going to send it through the pulmonary veins the veins is going to take oxygenated blood back to the heart so now we're on the left side of the heart so the left side deals with oxygenated blood and its whole goal is to take this oxygenated blood and send it throughout your body to your tissues and your organs so this oxygenated blood first after it leaves the pulmonary veins it's going to go into the left atrium top chamber of of the heart on the left side down through the second atrio ventricular valve known as the bicus valve or the mitro valve it's going to flow down through this valve into the left ventricle the left ventricle is super strong and it's going to push it up through another valve which is our second semi lunar valve known as the aortic valve the aortic valve is going to shoot it up through the aorta and the aorta is now going to pump it all throughout your body now here are some memory tricks to help you remember this information so we're talking about those atrio vular valves a truspa and bicuspid valve how can you figure out which one comes first okay remember everything starts on the right side so the truspa valve comes before the bicuspid valve and remember the phrase it's best to try before You by and if you're getting the Atria and the ventricles confused like which one's the top chamber and which one's the bottom chamber remember that the letter A which is for Atria always comes before the letter V in the alphabet so those Atria are always going to be on top of those ventricles and then remember the left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood that just left the lungs and those all start with L and if you can't remember how many parts are on each side where blood flows remember the number six blood flow CL through six parts on the right side and six parts through the left side and then finally if you're getting the location of the semi lunar valves confused just remember the name of the semi lunar valve tells you what vessel they are near for instance the ortic valve is going to be near the aorta and that's just always going to be on the left side because that's the big vessel that pumps all that oxygenated blood throughout your body and the pulmonic valve the pulmonary valve is going to be near the pulmonary artery which is on the right side of the heart okay so that wraps up this video if you like to watch more reviews don't forget to access the link in the description below
