ventricle
(Science: anatomy) The paired (right and left) more muscular chambers of the heart that pump blood into the pulmonary (right ventricle) and systemic (left ventricle) circulation.
ventricle The chamber of the heart that pumps the blood into the blood vessels that carry it away from the heart. The lower chamber of the heart through which blood leaves the heart.
ventricle
[L. ventriculus, the stomach]
A muscular chamber of the heart that receives blood from an atrium and pumps blood out of the heart, either to the lungs or to the body tissues.

Left Ventricle (ventriculus sinister)."The left ventricle is longer and more conical in shape than the right, and on transverse section its concavity presents an oval or nearly circular outline.
Ventricles begin to contract, intraventricular pressure rises causing AV valves to close.

The Heart Clear text and some nice graphics, including an animated beating heart.
The ventricles can maintain a beat even without a functioning A-V node, although the beat is slower. There is, however, a danger that impulses arising in the ventricles may become disorganized and random.

They are highly muscularized portions of the circulatory system, often with a thin walled atrium, thick walled ventricle and valves to prevent back flow.
Either of two masses of grey matter lying between the cerbal hemispheres on either side of the third ventricle of the brain. The dorsal part of the diencephalon, the rostral most part of the brainstem, above the third ventricle.
It is then pumped to your lungs via the right ventricle. In your lungs, your blood again fills up with oxygen, and returns to your heart. Your blood now enters the left atrium of your heart. It is then pumped out to your body via your left ventricle.

[They are using] different strategies, like replacing the left ventricle rather than the full artificial heart. You don't get so much colonization. The strategies are getting better and better but the bacteria are winning most of these.
It's made up of several syllables: "sencephaly " means the brain, "prosencephaly" means the "forebrain", and "holoprosencephaly " means that the forebrain didn't separate into a left and a right ventricle, as it does mostly.
The anterior chamber of the early embryo's heart which functions to connect the ventricle to the ventral aorta. Synonyms: bulbus cordis, conus arteriosus, truncus arteriosus.
bulbus arteriosus The anterior chamber of the early embryo's heart which functions to connect the ventricle to the ventral aorta. Synonyms: bulbus cordis, conus arteriosus, truncus arteriosus.

pulmonary circuit The system of blood vessels from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, transporting deoxygenated blood and returning oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
