The ventricles can maintain a beat even without a functioning A-V node, although the beat is slower. There is, however, a danger that impulses arising in the ventricles may become disorganized and random.

The ventricles are the parts of the heart that pump blood around the body or to the lungs. They are thicker walled than the atria, and the contraction of the ventricle wall is much more important to move blood around.

The left ventricle is much more muscular, which is 1.3 - 1.5 cm (.5-.6 in) thick, than the right, 0.3 - 0.

[They are using] different strategies, like replacing the left ventricle rather than the full artificial heart. You don't get so much colonization. The strategies are getting better and better but the bacteria are winning most of these.

The anterior chamber of the early embryo's heart which functions to connect the ventricle to the ventral aorta. Synonyms: bulbus cordis, conus arteriosus, truncus arteriosus.

pulmonary circuit The system of blood vessels from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, transporting deoxygenated blood and returning oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
