"Anatomy and Physiology", The Heart, The Left Ventricle

The Left Ventricle is without question, one of the most important chambers of your Heart. The Left Ventricle pumps oxygenated blood out to the Body to serve the vital needs of every cell of your Body. The Left Ventricle is the most muscular chamber of the Heart. It pumps most effectively with a pronounced stretching of its' muscular wall, which creates an optimal recoil effect ("Starlings' Effect"). This generate the greatest force with each Ventricular Systole, and the most effective emptying of the Left Ventricle. It is very important for the health of your Left Ventricle to be physically active. The Heart is an Electro-Mechanical Pump. By staying active, you help to optimize the strength of the entire Heart musculature. This also optimizes blood flow to all the cells of your body, which optimizes the function of all the internal organs, as well as your nervous system and sensoria. Avoid Smoking at all costs! Smoking damages the sensitive lung tissue, which in-turn diminishes the volume of Oxygen in the blood that returns to the Heart for circulation to the body by the Left Ventricle. So be Active, keep your Heart Strong...and Enjoy Your Health!
