What are similarities between the ventricles of the brain and the ventricles of the heart?

They are both parts of the heart, and they come in pairs inside the heart.
They both contain valves that prevent the back flow of blood.
A difference is that the atria has thin walls and the ventricle has thick walls.
The atria are receiving chambers and the ventricles are discharging chambers - they pump the blood.
The septum in-between the atria has the foramen ovale, a closed opening that used to be present in a fetal heart.

∙ 15y agoThere are four different chambers in the human heart - the left and right atria, and the left and right ventricles. Similarities include: - The left and right atria collect blood from around the body and push it into their respective ventricles. - The left and right ventricles both pump blood through arteries to either the lungs or bodies. - The left side of the heart has greater muscle due to blood on this side being pumped at higher pressure.

∙ 13y agoThere are 4 chambers in the heart - the left and right atria, and the left and right ventricles. Differences include:
- The atria only collect blood that comes from the rest of the body and sends the blood through the appropriate valve to the appropriate heart ventricle.
- The ventricles pump blood through the body, and do not receive blood.
- The right ventricle sends blood to the lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen and distributes it to the rest of the body.
- The left ventricle is larger than the right and it pumps blood throughout the whole body, not just to the lungs.
