Why does blood in the left ventricle contain more oxygen then the blood in the right ventricle?
This is because the blood in the left atrium has just returned from the lungs, which means that the haemoglobin has joined with the oxygen to form oxy-haemoglobin. This blood is then pumped out of the heart and circulated out of the body.
The blood in the right atrium has returned from the body, which means that the oxygen that was previously present in the blood has been absorbed, and therefore is lacking oxygen. This means that the blood in the left atrium is richer than that of the blood in the right.

Which chambers of the heart contain blood that has the highest concentration of oxygen?
Blood high in oxygen, but low in carbon dioxide can be found in the left side of the heart: the left ventricle and left atrium. Since your entire body needs oxygen, blood high in oxygen is pumped from the left side of the heart to all over the rest of your body.
What chamber in a frog's heart contains both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
The right heart chambers (atrium and ventricle) contain deoxygenated blood. The left heart chambers contain oxygenated blood, since this blood has already been through the pulmonary system.
Is the right ventricle high in oxygen?
No. It pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary vein to get oxygenated. The LEFT ventricle is the oxygen rich one.
What are the differences of the left and right ventricles?
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.
If the septum has a hole near the ventricles as in congenital heart defect what could happen to the flow of blood?
When the heart beats, some of the blood in the left ventricle (which has received oxygen from the lungs already) is able to flow through the hole in the septum into the right ventricle. In the right ventricle, this oxygen-rich blood mixes with the oxygen-poor blood and is directed via the pulmonary artery back to the lungs.
Which chambers of the heart contain blood that has the highest concentration of oxygen?
Blood high in oxygen, but low in carbon dioxide can be found in the left side of the heart: the left ventricle and left atrium. Since your entire body needs oxygen, blood high in oxygen is pumped from the left side of the heart to all over the rest of your body.
What is the type of blood found in the 4 chambers?
The right atrium and the right ventricle contain de-oxygenated blood coming from the body and going to the lungs. The left atrium and the left ventricle contain oxygen rich blood ready to be sent out the the body. Sometimes the term right heart is used to refer to the two right chambers, and the term left heart refers to the two left chambers.
Is the blood rich in oxygen or poor in oxygen when it enters the left ventricle?
Blood entering the left ventricle is rich in oxygen. In contrast, oxygen-poor blood enters the right ventricle.
Which chambers of the heart cointain blood low in oxygen?
The right atrium and right ventricle of the heart contain blood low in oxygen. This blood returns from the body and is then pumped to the lungs in order to pick up oxygen.
Is Blood pumped by right ventricle oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor?
Yes, the right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.
What chamber in a frog's heart contains both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
The right heart chambers (atrium and ventricle) contain deoxygenated blood. The left heart chambers contain oxygenated blood, since this blood has already been through the pulmonary system.
How does blood in the artery leaving the right ventricle differ from the blood in the artery leaving the left ventricle to where does the artery leaving the right ventricle carry blood?
The blood leaving the left ventricle is oxygen-rich and the blood coming out of the right ventricle is oxygen-poor. It then goes through the pulmonary arteries and into the capillaries of the lung where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.
What type of blood does the right ventricle pump?
The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
Does the right ventricle have oxygen-poor blood?
poor
What blood does the right ventricle carry?
The right ventricle carries oxygen poor blood that will be sent to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
How is the left ventricle different from the right ventricle?
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.
What two components in the Circulatory System have oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-poor blood respectively?
The right atrium and ventricle of the heart, as well as veins, contain oxygen-poor blood. The left atrium and ventricle, as well as the arteries, contain oxygen-rich blood. One exception to this is the pulmonary vein and artery, which are reversed - pulmonary artery contains oxygen-poor blood and pulmonary vein contains oxygen-rich blood.
