What are the functions of the left ventricle ?!
Question: ....................
Answers: ....................
The LEFT cardiac ventricle is the bit that really does all the hard work and therefore the walls are thicker and more powerful. As the other folk have said, it's job is to pump the newly oxygenated blood ( which has just returned from the lungs), all around the body. As it pumps it 'squirts' blood out of the aortic valve and into the aorta and there after blood flows to the tissues of the body. The first arteries (other than the aorta itself) that blood flow comes across are the coronary arteries. These are the arteries that supply the heart muscle with its own OWN supply of oxygenated blood. However it is not quite as simple as that because as the aortic valve opens it covers them up and then as it shuts it allows blood to flow through them. Therefore when resuscitating keep going and keep up the blood pressure otherwise it wont work .
It pumps the oxygenated blood out into the body
it is one of the four chambers of the heart an receives oxygenated blood from the left atria it then pumps the blood through the aortic valve into the aorta where it is then pumped around the body
To ensure that blood flows in only one direction, each ventricle has an "in" (inlet) valve and an "out" (outlet) valve. In the left ventricle, the inlet valve is the mitral valve, and the outlet valve is the aortic valve.
The left side pumps blood to the rest of the body, where oxygen and nutrients are delivered to tissues and waste products (such as carbon dioxide) are transferred to the blood for removal by other organs (such as the lungs and kidneys).
