The right ventricle is one of four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) in the human heart. It receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium via the tricuspid valve and pumps it into the pulmonary artery via the pulmonary valve and pulmonary trunk. It is triangular in form and extends from the right atrium to near the apex of the heart.
