Question
**Heart Circulation Pathway Exercise**

Starting at the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava, follow the arrows in the sequence provided to list the parts of the heart in the order in which blood enters them. 

Use the drag-and-drop function to arrange the heart components correctly:

1. **Superior and Inferior Vena Cava**
2. **Right Atrium**
3. **Right Ventricle**
4. **Pulmonary Artery**
5. **Lungs**
6. **Pulmonary Vein**
7. **Left Atrium**
8. **Left Ventricle**
9. **Aortic Arch**

This exercise is designed to help understand the flow of blood through the heart and lungs for oxygenation and distribution to the body. Ensure that each part is placed in the correct sequence.

**Diagram of the Human Heart**

This diagram provides a detailed view of the internal structure of the human heart. It highlights the key components involved in the circulation of blood. 

- **Superior Vena Cava**: A large vein carrying deoxygenated blood into the heart from the upper parts of the body.
- **Aorta**: The largest artery in the body, it carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
- **Pulmonary Artery**: This artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.
- **Pulmonary Vein**: These veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
- **Right Atrium**: The chamber where deoxygenated blood from the body enters the heart.
- **Left Atrium**: The chamber where oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the heart.
- **Pulmonary Valve**: Located between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery, it regulates blood flow to the lungs.
- **Mitral Valve**: Also known as the bicuspid valve, it allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
- **Tricuspid Valve**: Located between the right atrium and right ventricle, it prevents backflow of blood.
- **Aortic Valve**: Positioned at the junction of the left ventricle and aorta, it controls the flow of blood into the aorta.
- **Right Ventricle**: The chamber responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
- **Left Ventricle**: The strongest chamber that pumps oxygenated blood to the entire body.

The arrows on the diagram indicate the direction of blood flow throughout the heart, illustrating the journey of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood.
