Left ventricle
The left ventricle is one of four chambers of the heart. It is located in the bottom left portion of the heart below the left aorta, separated by the mitral valve.
The thickest of all the chambers, the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to tissues all over the body.
After flowing through the left aorta and through the mitral valve, blood enters the left ventricle before it
