What is the entire pathway a RBC travels throughout the heart/body? Answer- *Starts at vena cava, then heads to the right atrium, then through the tricuspid valve (atrioventricular), then to the right ventricle, then through the pulmonary valve (semilunar valves), then through the pulmonary trunk to get the blood oxygenated, and then comes to the pulmonary veins with oxygenated blood, then goes to the left atrium, then left AV valve (mitral valve;bicuspid), then to the left ventricle,...
