Which statements describe the movement of blood through the heart? Choose two correct answers.

The atria receive blood and contract to push it into the ventricles, so statement D is correct. The ventricles then contract and push blood out of the heart to the lungs or the rest of the body, making statement E correct. Valves keep blood moving in one direction, not two, and the atria and ventricles contract at different times.
