When this contracts the ventricle drives the blood to the lungs. Blood is
prevented from returning into the auricle by the tricuspid valve, which
completely closes during contraction of the ventricle. In its passage
through the lungs, the blood is oxygenated, then it is brought back to the
heart by the four pulmonary veins, which enter the left auricle. When this
