In this VR lesson, Evan guides you through the path of blood flow in the heart, beginning with the right and left ventricles separated by the interventricular septum. He highlights the left anterior descending artery, a branch of the left coronary artery, running externally along the septum.
Blood enters the right atrium via the superior and inferior vena cavae, passes through the right atrioventricular valve to the right ventricle, then through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary trunk, which divides into pulmonary arteries carrying blood to the lungs.
