The ventricles contract to pump blood out of the heart.
Both chambers contract but the upper chambers (atria) contract at a much lower pressure than the lower ones (ventricles). The contraction and relaxation of the chambers can be measured and noted as systolic pressure. I remember the difference best by: diastolic = dilate. That then leaves the second term to mean higher pressure (systolic).
The left ventricle, the largest chamber, is responsible for returning blood to the rest of the body.
The muscle tissue on one side contracts while the other relaxes, controlled by electrical impulses to the heart muscle.
The left ventricle contracts to pump blood through the systemic circulation. The right ventricle contracts to pump blood through the pulmonary circuit.
The heart itself performs no changes to the blood, (with the exception of removing some of the oxygen through diffusion, for the heart to use in its respiration).Its role is simply to pump the blood through both the pulmonary circulatory system and the main circulatory system.
Well think of the heart and blood vessles as a race track. It start at the heart goes all they way around then back to the start so the heart pumps blood to the heart, but also ateries have a layer of smooth muscle that automatically contracts to help the movement of blood.
If you mean what percentage of you blood does your heart pump... all of it.
Your heart contracts, forcing your blood out your aorta, and through your body.

It is the muscular contraction of the heart muscles to pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle contracts to send blood through the pulmonary arteries, and the left ventricle contracts to send blood into the aorta.
It contracts causing the heart to pump and move more blood.
It is the muscular contraction of the heart muscles to pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle contracts to send blood through the pulmonary arteries, and the left ventricle contracts to send blood into the aorta.
The heart is the muscular pump which pushes blood through blood vessels, to reach all our body cells with vital nutrients and oxygen, as well as removing some waste products.
The left atrium is like a "turbocharger" for the left ventricle of the heart. It fills with oxygenated blood from the lungs, then contracts to pump the blood into the left ventricle. Here, the ventricle then contracts to pump the oxygenated blood all around your body.
Because your heart is a muscle, a cardiac muscle. a muscles job is to contract an that is exactly what the heart does, it contracts to pump blood.
The heart is made up of muscle tissue (cardiac muscle). The muscle tissue contracts to pump blood.
Blood flows to the heart when the ventricle contracts
