Ventricle Structure
The two ventricles are separated by a septum into the left ventricle and the right ventricle. The ventricles of the heart are muscular chambers because they are responsible for propelling blood out of the heart. The left ventricle is the thickest of the four chambers because it is the final chamber that oxygenated blood must be pumped through before it is distributed throughout the body via the circulatory system. The ventricles are also larger in size compared to the atria.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
Is all good structure in a winding stair?
May no lines pass, except they do their duty
Not to a true, but painted chair?”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
