Q
What does each ventricle do?
A
The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs to take in oxygen, the blood then returns to the heart. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood around all the other organs of the body. The blood gives up its oxygen at the body cells and the deoxygenated blood returns to the heart to be pumped out to the lungs again.
