Is this correct?

from superior/inferior vena cava (and from coronary sinus) to right atrium ,

thru tricuspid valve, to right ventricle,

thru pulmonic valve to l/r pulmonary artery to lungs

from lungs thru pulmonary veins, to left atrium,

thru mitral valve to left ventricle,

from left ventricle thru aortic valve and thru aorta,

and out to body (and coronary artery to heart muscles).

feel free to clean up/add to.. thanks.

we have to do this on the first day of the med surg class coming up in a few days. and I wanted to see IF i could do it without looking.
