Atrium
Bicuspid > Left ventricle > Aortic valve > Body
and Pushed All the cheese in the VALVES on the way out!
PULMONARY AND AORTIC VALVE are points of exit from the ventricles.
Aorta= 5 letters= Right Vena Cava = 4 letters = Left

I have an exam soon on the heart, and we have to fill out a chart 14 steps long on the blood flow through the heart. While it seems pretty simple to memorize, do you have a mnemonic or a more straightforward way to get it?
Vena Cava, Right Atrium, Tricuspid Valve, Right Ventricle, Pulmonary Valve (semilunar), Pulmonary Artery, so on and so forth!
Anyone?
