Step-by-step explanation:

Deoxygenated blood enters the heart from venacava to the right atria then to the right ventricles,the r. ventricles pumps blood to the lungs through pulmonary artery .When the blood is already oxidized and become oxygenated blood,it transported to the heart by pulmonary vein and enters the heart through left atria,to the left ventricles.The left ventricle pumps blood to the rest parts of the body through aorta.

See the above demonstration for more understandings.

Blood enters the right atrium from the body, travels to the right ventricle, and is forced into the lungs' pulmonary arteries. After absorbing oxygen, blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins, passing through the left atrium, left ventricle, and aorta before reaching the lungs.
