      The right ventricle pumps only to the lungs for release of CO2 and acquiring of O2. In an average adult at rest, each ventricle pumps 5 liters of blood per minute. Average rate is 70-80 beats per minute at rest. A rapid heart rate is called TACHYCARDIA. A slow heart rate is called BRADYCARDIA. When a ventricle contracts it is SYSTOLE.
