Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Im asuming that you want to know the flow of blood throughout the body?

If so, the blood is pumped from the Aorta through the Arteries to the Arterial Capillaries from here gas exchange occurs (Blood is deoxygenated and loaded up with CO2) from here the Veins will take the blood back to the heart. To accomplish this goal they will take the superior and inferior Vena Cava, Oxygen-poor blood will then fill the Right Atrium until the heart relaxes and the Tricuspid valve opens. Once this Valve opens the blood will flow to the Right Ventricle. Once the heart contracts the blood will be forces out of the right ventricle into the Pulmonary Artery to the lungs, It is here in the lungs where the blood will flow through Bronchial Capillaries to be reoxygenated and release their stored CO2 gas. The blood will re-enter the heart via the pulmonary vein and fill the left Aorta. Once the heart relaxes the blood will flow through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle. the Heart will then contract again and push the blood to the Aorta and the cylcle will begin anew.

Hope this helps!
