Ventricle Terminal

The terminal ventricle (ventriculus terminalis) is the final section of the ventricle of the heart, which is located in the right atrium and has the shape of a cone. It is part of the common ventricular tract and connects to the pulmonary trunk.

The terminal ventricle has several functions:

1. Contraction of the terminal ventricle promotes more efficient pumping of blood from the left ventricle to the lungs.
2. The terminal ventricle is involved in the formation of arterial blood, which enters the lungs for oxygenation.
3. The ventricular terminal contains special cells called pager cells that help regulate blood flow in the lungs.

However, in some people the terminal ventricle may be abnormally small or absent entirely. This condition is called Krause syndrome and can lead to heart problems and other diseases.

Various methods can be used to prevent and treat terminal ventricular disease, including surgery, drug therapy, and lifestyle changes. However, the most effective method is prevention, which includes proper nutrition, physical activity and giving up bad habits.
