Your lungs don't have ventricles.
However your heart has two (a left one and a right one).
The right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the right atria and sends it up to the lungs to become oxygenated.
The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the left atria and sends it out the the systemic circulation to supply the tissues with oxygen.

Does oxygen enter the bloodstream through the lungs the heart or the ventricles?
Lungs
What does the blood travel to after it exits the ventricles?
To the lungs.
When the ventricles contract blood flows from the right ventricles to what?
The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
The pumping chambers of the heart that deliver blood to the lungs and body tissues are called the?
ventricles.
What carries blood towards the lungs?
Pulmonary circulation carries blood into the lungs.
What is the function of the ventricle?
The ventricles of the heart function to pump blood to the entire body. Right ventricle: receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the pulmonary artery (to lungs). Left ventricle: receives blood from left atrium and pumps to aorta (to rest of body). Hoped this helped byee!! :)
What differences between the atria and the ventricles?
-the atriums are smaller then the ventricles. -the atriums have thinner muscle tissue. -the atriums only have to pump blod to the ventricles. -the ventricles are larger in size. -the ventricles have larger muscle tissue. -the ventricles have to pump blood to either the lungs or around to the rest of the body. hope this helpedddd ;D xox <3 Bellaaaa
Why do heartbeats occur?
Heart has to beat periodically. Atrial chambers of your heart receive blood from your body and lungs. This is pushed to your ventricles by contraction of the atrial chambers, leading to formation of beats. The ventricles also have to pump blood to your lungs and body by contraction of the ventricles. You need time to fill the ventricles and you need to contract the ventricles. This leads to formation of heart beats. Continuous flow, with out beats is not possible here. Although the blood flows continuously. Because, when the ventricles relax, the arterial system, contracts.
How would you say the structural difference reflects the relative functions of the two heart chambers?
Assuming you mean the atria and ventricles by "the two heart chambers", the fact that in all species the atria are smaller than the ventricles reflects the fact that the atria receive blood from either the body or the lungs and then pump it into the larger and much stronger ventricles. One-way valves between the atria and ventricles prevent backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria. The ventricles then pump the blood received from the atria to either the oxygenating organ (i.e. gills or lungs) or the body. The much thicker walls of the ventricles reflect the fact that much greater force is needed to pump the blood throughout the body or to the lungs than is needed to pump the blood from the atria to the ventricles.
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.
When the ventricles contract blood is pumped...?
Yes. Actually when any of the 4 chambers contract the pump blood. The ventricles pump blood to the body and to the lungs.
What are the functions of ventricles?
They pump blood from the heart into the lungs or all the other tissues of the body.
