A ventricle is one of two large chambers toward the bottom of the heart that collect and expel blood received from an atrium towards the peripheral beds within the body and lungs.
The atrium (an adjacent/upper heart chamber that is smaller than a ventricle) primes the pump.
In a four-chambered heart, such as that in humans, there are two ventricles that operate in a double circulatory system: the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation through the aorta.
The term "interventricular" means between the ventricles (for example the interventricular septum), while "intraventricular" means within one ventricle (for example an intraventricular block).
