In the heart, a ventricle is a heart chamber which collects blood from an atrium (another heart chamber that is smaller than a ventricle) and pumps it out of the heart. The heart is a muscular organ in all Vertebrates responsible for pumping Blood through the Blood vessels by repeated rhythmic Blood is a specialized Bodily fluid that delivers necessary substances to the body's cells €”such as nutrients and oxygen—and transports Waste products In Anatomy, the atrium (plural atria) refers to a chamber or space For information on Wikipedia project-related discussions see WikipediaVillage pump.

In a four-chambered heart, such as that in humans, there are two ventricles: the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation for the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation for the rest of the body. Human beings, humans or man (Origin 1590–1600 L homō man OL hemō the earthly one (see Humus The right ventricle is one of four chambers (two atria and two ventricles in the Human Heart. Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the Cardiovascular system which carries Oxygen -depleted Blood away from the heart to the Lungs, and lung is the essential Respiration organ in air-breathing Animals including most Tetrapods a few Fish and a few Snails The most primitive The left ventricle is one of four chambers (two atria and two ventricles in the Human Heart. Systemic circulation is the portion of the Cardiovascular system which carries Oxygenated Blood away from the heart to the Body, and returns (See Double circulatory system for details. The double circulatory system of blood flow refers to the separate systems of Pulmonary circulation and the Systemic circulation in Amphibians )

Ventricles have thicker walls than the atria, and thus can withstand higher blood pressure. Blood pressure is also the title of a short story by Damon Runyan in Guys and Dolls and Other Stories Comparing the left and right ventricles, the left ventricle has thicker walls because it needs to pump blood to the whole body.
