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.
Also another definition is....
The paired (right and left) more muscular chambers of the heart that pump blood into the pulmonary (right ventricle) and systemic (left ventricle) circulation.
Right Ventricle: Receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the pulmonary artery.
Left Ventricle: Receives blood from the left atrium and pumps it to the aorta.

∙ 11y agoThe Right Atrium receives de-oxygenated blood from the upper and lower body through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava.
The right atrium opens into the right ventricle through a valve, which only allows the blood to flow from the atria into the ventricle, but not in the reverse direction.
The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery to be reoxygenated.

∙ 11y agoThe importance is equal as all the other heart parts.
See below: The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation (very important) and the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation through the aorta(also vital, very important)
From Wikipedia:
In a four-chambered heart, such as that in humans, there are two ventricles: the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation to/for the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation through the aorta (systemic circulation)

What wall separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle of the heart called?
The intraventricular septum separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle.
Which ventricle of the heart ejects blood towards the lungs?
right ventricle
Interventricular septum separates the left ventricle from what side?
right ventricle
Which chamber of the heart pumps blood through the aorta to the body?
It comes from the left ventricle out through the aorta.
Chamber at bottom of heart?
It is the ventricle
Which chamber or the heart does the aorta attach to?
left ventricle
The thalamus forms the wall of what ventricle?
The third ventricle
Between the pons and the cerebellum is what ventricle?
fourth ventricle
Which ventricle is responsible for the pulmonary loop?
the right ventricle
Is left ventricle an artery?
A left ventricle is not an artery.
What are the four ventricles of the ventricular system?
the different types of ventricles are the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
What are the two bottom sections of the heart called?
The left ventricle and the right ventricle. In a human, the heart is tilted in such a way that the right ventricle is closer to the chest, and the left ventricle is behind it.
