| ventricle |
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.
