What is the ventricles in your lungs?

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.
