After leaving the left atrium, where would blood go next?
444705
To the aorta and then out to the rest of the body.
758066
To the right atrium via the superior and inferior vena cavae.

The blood woudn't be circulating in the body anymore. The cell wouldn't get their oxygen, and they would die.  So would you.

cutting off blood supply to the organ and it starts deterirating

Simple, bad blood goes from the heart to the lungs thru the pulmonary veins, and return to the heart already oxygenated thru the pulmonary arteries..☺

Ill try-\nBlood comes into the right atrium, then to the right ventricle..it stays on the right side at first.  This blood doesnt have any oxygen in it, so the first thing you have to do is get it oxygenated-So, the blood goes from the right ventricle to the lungs.  Here, the blood picks up oxygen for the rest of the body, but it still has to be pumped to the rest of the body.  So the blood goes fro mthe lungs back to the heart, but this time it goes into the left atrium, then the left ventricle-from there is goes everwhere in the body, delivering oxygen.  Now, once the body has taken all the oxygen out, the blood goes back to the right atrium, for the whole cycle to start again.\nhere's the overall flow:\n\nBlood from the body without oxygen--->\nright Atrium--->Right Ventricle--->\nLungs, so it can get oxygen--->\nLeft Atrium--->Left Ventricle--->\nRest of the body, to deliver oxygen---->\nBack to the right atrium once the oxygen is used.

The heart is a fist-sized, muscular organ that pumps blood through the body. Oxygen-poor blood enters the right atrium of the heart (via veins called the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava). The blood is then pumped into the right ventricle and then through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where the blood is enriched with oxygen (and loses carbon dioxide). The oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood is then carried back to the left atrium of the heart via the pulmonary vein. The blood is then pumped to the left ventricle, then the blood is pumped through the aorta and to the rest of the body. This cycle is then repeated. Every day, the heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (7,600 liters) of blood, beating about 100,000 times. enchantedlearning.com

always in your arm. Blood travels first to your arm from your lungs. Blood is oxygenated in your lungs. Therefore there is more pressure in blood near your lungs. The first places after lungs have hte most pressure. Then slowly it decreases. The legs get teh least pressure. When blood goes across capellaries and hte O2 is used up and the pressure is very low. It is lowest in veins since all oxygen has been used up. It is also lowest far away from the heart because the heart increases pressure.

The cardiovascular system is a closed system, meaning that blood remains inside the vessels no matter how small they are.  The process of diffusion drives oxygen, carbon dioxide, wastes and nutrients between the tissues and the blood inside the blood vessels-blood just goes around the body.  Humans have a 4-chambered heart: 2 ventricles and 2 atria (sing: atrium).  The atria receive blood and the ventricles "expel" the blood (pumps the blood away from the heart).  You can partition the heart into two sides (left and right), each with its own ventricle and atrium.   One side is for the systemic circulation (to the body) and the other is for the pulmonary circulation (to the lungs).  Blood (deoxygenated) from the body collects in the right atrium, which passes the blood to the right ventricle, which relays the blood to the pulmonary arteries (arteries to the lungs) to get oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.  Once the blood in the lungs acquires oxygen, it passes to the pulmonary veins and into the left atrium.  Then, the blood goes into the left ventricle and is pumped into the aorta (think of it as the largest artery in the body or like in the water supply, the main tube of water where all of the other tubes originate). From the aorta it goes to the arteries and then to the arterioles and the capillary networks (where gas exchange occurs).  After being depleted of oxygen, it goes to the venules to the veins then to the vena cavae and back into the right atrium and it goes around again. :-)

There is no mixing of oxygen rich blood and oxygen poor blood because the chambers keep the blood from mixing.  The four chambers are the right atrium, the left atrium, the right ventricle, and the left vetricle (here's a diagram, it should help you visualize my expalantion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Heart_labelled_large.png_\n\nThe process starts when the right ventricle pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen.  The blood then goes back to the left atrium.  The blood in the left atrium is transfered to the left ventricle by way of a one-eay valve in the heart.\n\nThe blood in the left ventricle is pumped throughout the rest of the body. (head, arms, legs), where it drops off its oxygen, and the oxygen poor blood returns to the right atrium.  This oxygen poor blood is then transfered to the right ventricle by way of a one-way valve, where the process begins again.\n\nAs you can see, there is no mixing of the oxygen richa and poor blood because the valves in the heart (and in the arteries and veins!!) keep the blood from moving backward in the cycle.  This is important because if the oxygen rich and poor blood mixed, there wouldn't be as much oxygen getting to the body cells, which is inefficient.  Some cells might not get any oxygen and could die if the blood mixed.

why don't you ask your teacher? I find it very disturbing that the person that drew my blood the other day may have been taught how to do it by someone on yahoo. Gee whats next a Dr. asking the best way to perform a heart transplant.

There are two possible answers.  Are you referring to the oxygenated blood pathway and the deoxygenated blood pathway or the arterial and venous pathways?  In either case, here is a quick rundown. \n\nThe pathway of oxygenated blood:\nStarting in the lungs:  Pulmonary capillaries, pulmonary venuoles, pulmonary veins, to the left atrium through the mitral valve to the left ventricle, through the aortic valve to the aorta, the arteries, the arterioles and to the systemic capillaries throughout the body.\n\nThe pathway of deoxygenated blood:\nStarting in the systemic capillaries, the venules, veins, then into the right atrium from either the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava or the coronary sinus, then through the tricupid valve into the right ventricle, through the pulmonary valve, the pulmonary arteries, pulmonary arterioles, and into the pulmonary capillaries of the lungs. \n\nArtery Pathway:  Pulmonary Arteries, Coronary Arteries, Aorta, Common Cartoid Artery, Subclavian Artery, Auxillary Artery, Brachial Artery, Radial Artery, Ulnar Artery, Brachiocephalic Artery, Common Iliac Artery, Internal Iliac Artery, External Iliac Artery, Femoral Artery, Popliteal Artery, Anterior Tibial Artery, and Posterior Tibial Artery\n\nVenous Pathway:  Pulmonary Veins, Cardiac Veins, IVC, SVC, Internal Jugular Vein, Subclavian Vein, Auxillary Vein, Brachial Vein, Radial Vein, Ulnar Vein, Brachiocephalic Vein, Common Iliac Vein, Internal Iliac Vein, External Iliac Vein, Femoral Vein, Popliteal Vein, Anterior Tibial Vein, and Posterior Tibial Vein

Blood goes from the superior/inferior vena cava into the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, back through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium and then to the left ventricle, which pumps the blood out through the aorta into the rest of the body. The atria contract at the same time, and the ventricles contract immediately after. The "lub" of the "lub-dub" sound is made by the valves between the atria and the ventricles closing, and the "dub" of the "lub-dub" is made by the aortic and pulmonic valves closing.

Justhelpingout is right, bleeding is a loss of blood outside the coronary system. The heart is just a pump that moves blood.

First i would like to know, what do you mean by "TRACING"? do you mean the measurement of blood flow?\n\nSecondly i really dont know how you can connect right atrium and aorta ?\n\nIf it is left ventricle and aorta you can measure by dopper the flow and cavity size of the chamber

when your heart stops working ("fails") it can no longer pump blood, so the blood backs up (becomes "congested")\n\nyour heart has 2 sides - left and right.  the right pumps blood from the body through the lungs, and the left pumps blood from the lungs to the body.  so in right heart failure, blood backs up into your body -- usually your liver, spleen and legs.  left heart failure backs blood up into your lungs.
