Heart ventricles[edit]
- The ventricles of the heart are the two thick-walled chambers that forcefully pump blood out of the heart.
- The heart consists of four chambers in which blood flows.
- Blood enters the right atrium and passes through the right ventricle.
- The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated.
- The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium.
- From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle.
- The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
- The differences in thickness of the heart chamber walls are due to variations in the amount of myocardium present, which reflects the amount of force each chamber is required to generate.
The cerebral ventricles[edit]
The ventricle can also refer to the ventricular system of the brain - the cerebral ventricles are a series of interconnected, CSF-filled spaces that lie in the core of the forebrain and brainstem
