Question

What appears as a barrel-shaped left ventricle?

Answer 1

Left ventricle:

1. The left ventricle receives blood from the left atrium, pumping it all through the aortic artery to all the tissues of the body.
2. Most of the heart’s left lateral surface takes form by the left ventricle.
3. There is enough trabeculae carneae as seen with the right ventricle characterising the walls of the left.
4. Whereas, muscular ridges are found in the right ventricle.
5. The myocardium in the walls of the left ventricle is thicker contrary to that of the right ventricle.
6. The interventricular septum seems from inside the left ventricle to bulge into the right ventricle.
7. This generates a barrel-shaped left ventricle.
