cardiac ventricle

Cardiac chamber through which blood leaves the heart. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cardiac ventricle is

Cardiac chamber through which blood leaves the heart. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the cardiac ventricle is

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the cardiac ventricle connects to

The atlas records 30 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical structure and cardiac chamber.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cardiac ventricle. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as ventricle, heart ventricle, lower chamber of heart and ventricle of heart. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the cardiac ventricle?

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the cardiac ventricle connect to?

A kind of: anatomical structure and cardiac chamber.

Is the cardiac ventricle the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
