Blood from the systemic circulation enters the heart through the vena cavae (5) into the right atrium (1), flows into the right ventricle (3), is pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary trunk (7), returns from the lungs through the pulmonary veins (8) into the left atrium (2), flows into the left ventricle (4), and is then pumped into the systemic circulation through the aorta (6).
