Explanation:

Question 9 (How is blood pumped through the chambers of the heart?)

Blood flow through the heart chambers follows a specific sequence. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium (from the body via vena cava), then moves to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps it to the lungs (via the pulmonary artery) for oxygenation. Oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium (via pulmonary veins), then to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body (via the aorta). Valves (tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic) ensure one - way flow, opening to allow blood through and closing to prevent backflow.

The heart has four chambers. The two upper chambers are the atria (right atrium and left atrium), which receive blood. The two lower chambers are the ventricles (right ventricle and left ventricle), which pump blood out of the heart. The right atrium and ventricle handle deoxygenated blood, while the left atrium and ventricle handle oxygenated blood.

To travel away from the heart to the rest of the body, oxygenated blood (pumped by the left ventricle) uses arteries. The largest artery is the aorta, which branches into smaller arteries, then arterioles, and finally capillaries to deliver oxygen and nutrients to body tissues. Arteries have thick, muscular walls to withstand the high pressure of blood pumped by the heart.

Answer:

Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium (from the body), moves to the right ventricle (pumped to the lungs). Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium, moves to the left ventricle (pumped to the body). Valves (tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, aortic) regulate one - way flow.
