Both the left and right ventricles of the heart pump blood out of the heart, the difference is in where the blood goes. The right ventricle pushes blood into the pulmonary artery where it flows to the lungs and becomes oxygenated. This blood returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins and is then pushed into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps the oxygenated blood out of the heart and into the aorta. This blood then travels through arteries and capillaries throughout the whole body supplying tissues with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. Since the left ventricle is responsible for pushing blood a greater distance (throughout the whole body as opposed to straight to the lings) it tends to be more muscular than the right ventricle.
in most people and mammals, the right ventricle carries deoxygenated blood and the left ventricle carries oxygenated blood. the left one is larger in muscle size but not capacity due to it having to pump systemicly.
The 'right' side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood out of the pulmonary artory to the lung capillaries to be oxygenated, which then after oxygenation travels down the pulmonary vein into the 'left' atrium to be pumped through the entire body via the aorta
The blood that moves through the left ventricle is oxygen rich blood and the blood that moves through the right ventricle is oxygen poor blood that is filled with carbon dioxide. The right ventricle pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs which oxygenate the blood and then the oxygen rich blood goes through the left ventricle. From the left ventricle the oxygen goes to the body and then returns to the heart as oxygen poor blood again, and then the cycle restarts. :D
The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood to the body. The left ventricle is much more muscular than the right and has much thicker walls.
um...the right one carrys oxygen rich blood and the left carrys oxgen poor blood so there!
The left ventricle is more muscular than the right because it has to pump blood through the systemic circuit - whereas the left only has to pump blood through the pulmonary circuit.
left pumps oxygenated blood to the body where as right pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs.

What are the four ventricles of the ventricular system?
the different types of ventricles are the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
What are the two lower chambers of the heart?
If I am not wrong the lower two chambers of the heart are called as ventricles i.e. left ventricle and right ventricle while the upper two chambers of the heart are called as atria( plural of atrium) i.e. left atrium and right atrium.
What is the bottom half of the heart called?
right ventricle Ventricles, left and right
Inferior heart chambers?
The left and right ventricles
What are the four chambers of the heart are called?
The four chambers are; Left atrium Right atrium Left Ventricle Right Ventricle The two upper chambers are called atria (singular: atrium) and the two lower chambers are called ventricles. There are four chambers of the heart - the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle and left ventricle.
What is the function of the septum separating the left and right ventricles?
the septum seperates the left and right ventricles
Vavle between right and left ventricle?
There is no valve between the right and left ventricles. The interventricular septum separates the ventricles.
What are the four ventricles of the ventricular system?
the different types of ventricles are the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
Lower chamber of the heart is called?
the lower heart.
What are the four valves?
left and right atriums left and right ventricles
What are the two lower chambers of the heart?
If I am not wrong the lower two chambers of the heart are called as ventricles i.e. left ventricle and right ventricle while the upper two chambers of the heart are called as atria( plural of atrium) i.e. left atrium and right atrium.
Name the chambers in the heart?
left and right atrium left and right ventricles.
What are the name four sides of heart?
the left and right atria and the left and right ventricles
How many ventricles can be found in a human heart?
There are actually 2 ventricles in the heart. The right and left ventricles. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs to get oxygen and the left ventricle pumps already oxygenated blood throughout the body. -Anonymous
What do the right and left ventricles do?
The right ventricles pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. The left ventricle pumps blood to the body via the Aorta.
What are the four chambers in our heart called?
The four chambers of the heart are the right and left atria, and the right and left ventricles. The atria are the upper chambers, and the ventricles the lower.
The valve between the right and left ventricles?
There is not a valve between the ventricles. The interventricular septum separates them.
