Key Stage 4

A diagram showing the 4 chambers of the heart with the ventricles at the bottom.

The left ventricle is a chamber in the bottom left of the heart.

The left ventricle is separated from the left atrium by the Bicuspid Valve.

The left ventricle is separated from the Aorta by a Semilunar Valve.

The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium and pumps the blood out of the heart through an artery called the Aorta which takes the blood to the rest of the body.
