In the heart, one of the two lower chambers. Blood arrives in the upper chambers (the atria), drops down into the ventricles, and then the ventricles squeeze hard and push it out — the right ventricle sends blood to the lungs, the left ventricle sends it to the whole rest of the body. That is why the left ventricle has the thickest muscle wall of the four chambers: it has the longest job.
In the heart在心臟裡,one of the two lower chambers是兩個下腔室之一;blood arrives in the upper chambers (the atria)血液先進到上面的腔室(心房),drops down into the ventricles再流到心室裡,and然後 the ventricles squeeze hard and push it out心室用力收縮把血擠出去——the right ventricle sends blood to the lungs右心室把血送到肺,the left ventricle sends it to the whole rest of the body左心室把血送到全身其他地方;that is why這就是為什麼 the left ventricle has the thickest muscle wall of the four chambers左心室的肌肉壁是四個腔室裡最厚的:it has the longest job因為它的工作量最大。
The word also names four fluid-filled spaces inside the brain, which hold and circulate the clear liquid that cushions it; you meet this use in medicine and brain scans. So 'ventricle' really means 'a hollow chamber inside an organ', and which organ depends on the context.
