ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle is an integral part of the cardiovascular system. Left ventricular contraction forces oxygenated blood through the aortic valve to be distributed to the entire body. With such an important role, decreased function caused by injury or maladaptive change can induce symptoms of the disease.

Detailed explanation-2: -The left ventricle is the pump for the systemic circuit, which provides the blood supply for the tissue cells of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Left ventricle (VEN-trih-kul): one of the four chambers of the heart. The left ventricle pumps blood full of oxygen out to the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the systemic loop, oxygenated blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart through the aorta, the largest artery in the body. The blood moves from the aorta through the systemic arteries, then to arterioles and capillary beds that supply body tissues.
