The blood is pumped to the aorta and is then distributed to all the parts of the body.
right ventricle
arteries
blood leaves the left ventricle through what blood vessel
left ventricle
The aortic valve allows the blood to leave the left ventricle.
the left atrium is above the left ventricle. the blood which has been oxygenated from the lungs due to the gas exchange between the alveoli and capillaries comes here from the pulmonary artery this blood then gets sent to the left ventricle through the bicuspid valve this stops the backflow of blood but it allows the blood to go to the left ventricle but does not allow the blood to go back
the left atrium is above the left ventricle. the blood which has been oxygenated from the lungs due to the gas exchange between the alveoli and capillaries comes here from the pulmonary artery this blood then gets sent to the left ventricle through the bicuspid valve this stops the backflow of blood but it allows the blood to go to the left ventricle but does not allow the blood to go back
The blood then flows into to the right ventricle, and out into the pulmonary artery through the pulmonic valve.
The heart is divided into four chambers, the right atrium and the right ventricle, and the left atrium and the left ventricle. Blood that is oxygen poor and high in carbon dioxide enters the heart through the right atrium and is then pumped out to go to the lungs via the right ventricle. The left atrium then pumps the newly oxygenated blood into the left ventricle, which then sends the blood to all parts of the body. So, in short, the right ventricle pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs and the left ventricle pumps oxygen rich blood to the whole body.
After blood leaves the left ventricle, it goes through the aortic valve to be pumped throughout the body.
Thewall of the left ventricle is thicker than the wall of the right ventricle. This is because the left ventricle has to produce a larger force than the right ventricle. Blood from the right ventricle only has to go to the lungs, which are close to the heart. However blood from the left ventricle has to go all round the rest of the body, a much greater distance and so it meets more resistance from the blood vessels. For this reason the left ventricle has to generate a greater force to overcome the greater resistance, so it has more muscle, making its wall thicker. The volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle has to be the same.
