ventriculus = a small belly, dim. L. venter; cavities of brain; largest two chambers of heart.

A fluid-filled chamber; in the heart, one of the large chambers discharging blood into the pulmonary or systemic circuits; in the brain, one of four fluid-filled interior chambers.

(VEHN-trih-kuhl) One of the two inferior, highly muscular chambers of the heart that push blood into major arteries during their contraction.

a little chamber; the right and left ventricles of the heart; the chambers in the brain.

a cavity in the brain or an inferior chamber of the heart

1. a small chamber, as in the ventricles of the heart. 2. small chambers in the center of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is made.

A muscular heart chamber that pumps blood through the body.

a pumping chamber for blood to exit from the heart.

1. a chamber of the heart. The ventricles have thick muscle walls and pump blood to the lungs and systemic circulation. 2. in the brain, part of a system of cavities which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid. It includes the lateral ventricles, and the third and fourth ventricles.

A cavity such as those of the brain that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid.

One chamber among the several fluid-filled compartments of the vertebrate brain

one of four connected cavities in the brain; is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord and contains cerebrospinal fluid

a chamber of the heart that receives blood from an atrium and pumps it to the arteries

a chamber of the heart which despatches blood

an internal cavity of the brain

The chamber of the heart that pumps the blood into the blood vessels that carry it away from the heart. The lower chamber of the heart through which blood leaves the heart.

L. ventriculus, from venter, belly, chamber, cavity. Ventricles of the brain were so-named because it was at one time fashionable to name parts of the brain for other parts of the body that they resembled.

1) A tiny chamber, as in those of the heart. 2) Tiny chambers in the middle of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is created.

A pumping chamber of the heart. The right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood out through the aorta to the body.

a small chamber; specifically, in the center of the brain or heart.

The main pumping chamber of the heart is the ventricle.

(1) a chamber that pumps blood out of the vertebrate heart. (2) a space in the vertebrate brain filled with cerebrospinal fluid.

the large lower pumping chamber of the heart.

large chamber of the heart that pumps blood to the lungs and other parts of the body.

A cavity; one of the cavities of the central nervous system. The first ventricle is found within the right cerebral hemisphere; the second, within the left hemisphere; the third, between the hemispheres; the fourth, between the pons and medulla and the cerebellum; the fifth, between the folds of the septum pelucidum; the sixth, the canal of the spinal cord. All of the ventricles except the fifth are continuous.

The strong pumping chamber that ejects blood from the heart. In the normal heart, there are two lower chambers called venticles, one on the right (which pumps blue blood to the lungs) and one on the left side of the heart (which pumps red blood to the body). In malformed hearts, the position and alignment of the ventricular chambers can be considerably altered, but the function of pumping blood out of the heart remains the same.

(little chamber).

lower heart chamber

A small cavity or pouch; chambers of the heart that push blood out to the tissues.

one of the two lower chambers of the heart.

the 2 ventricles form the muscular-walled blood discharging chambers of the heart. (heart atria receive blood) (More? Heart Notes)

one of the two pumping chambers of the heart; right ventricle receives oxygen-poor blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the lungs through the pulmonary artery; left ventricle receives oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium and pumps it to the body through the aorta.

a chamber of the heart that receives blood from the atrium of the same side and pumps it into the arteries

a partition, sac or cavity (e.g., the fluid-filled spaces in the center of the brain, the chambers of the heart).

one of the muscular chambers of the heart that is responsible for pumping blood from the heart into the arteries.

A name used for the muscular pumping chamber. In the human, there are two venticles, the right and the left. The left ventricle pumps under much higher pressure and delivers the red or oxygen-containing blood to the aorta for distribution to the whole body.

Ventricles are the lower chambers in the heart. The right ventricle pumps blood into the left side of the heart, and the left ventricle pumps blood to the body.

Either of the two lower chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. The blood absorbs oxygen in the lungs and returns to the heart. Then the left ventricle pumps the newly oxygen-rich blood through the body.

sny of various cavities or hollow organs

a small cavity. The right and left ventricles of the heart have thick muscular walls that make up the bulk of the heart and propel blood through and from the heart.

A chamber of the heart that pumps blood out. The right ventricle pumps it to the lungs where it picks up oxygen; the left ventricle pumps it into the aorta and then on to the rest of the body.

The lower chambers of the heart where blood is pumped out to the body.

A fluid-filled cavity. The heart has a right and left ventricle filled with blood. The brain has four ventricles: the two lateral, and the midline third and fourth - filled with cerebrospinal fluid. image

One of the lower pumping chambers of the heart.

one of the heart's two lower chambers that receive blood from the atria

A chamber of an organ. For example, the four connected cavities (hollow spaces) in the central portion of the brain and the lower two chambers of the heart are called ventricles.

The cavities or chambers within the brain which contain the cerebrospinal fluid. There are two lateral ventricles and midline third and fourth ventricles.

a cavity in an organ, the fourth ventricle is a space in the brain where CSF collects

The heart has four chambers. The ventricle can easily be distinguished because of the developing musculature, the trabeculae carneae which has come from the myocardium. The truncus arteriosus can be seen to leave the ventricle and lie beneath the digestive tract. The ventricle lies in the pericardial coelom.

An open area in the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is produced. These areas help make the brain more buoyant so it rests lighter in the brain.

A chamber in the heart which pumps blood either from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary trunk and arteries to the capillaries of the lung, or which pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta to all the tissues of the body

A small cavity or chamber.

four small hollow spaces in the brain that are filled with cerebrospinal fluid - they contain the choroid plexus, which produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

1. Either of the two chambers that contract to pump blood from the heart. 2. Any of several small fluid-filled cavities in the brain.

In the heart, a ventricle is a heart chamber which collects blood from an atrium (another heart chamber that is smaller than a ventricle) and pumps it out of the heart.
