	right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle
	left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle
	right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle
	left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle

Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
