This overview explores the intricate workings of the human heart and circulatory system. It highlights the flow of oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium and ventricle, before being pumped to the body via the aorta. The role of valves, including the bicuspid and tricuspid, is explained, detailing how they prevent backflow and maintain efficient circulation. Finally, the systemic circulation process is examined, illustrating how deoxygenated blood returns to the lungs for reoxygenation, completing the vital cycle of blood circulation.
