The Left Ventricle is responsible for beginning the bloods journey from the heart to rest of the body.
Explanation:
The human heart is composed of four chambers, four vessels and four valves.
The ventricles are the pumping chambers of the heart.
The right ventricle (5) pumps the blood into the pulmonary artery (7) which makes a very short journey to the lungs.
The left ventricle (12) pumps blood to the aorta (14) which then travels out to the remainder of the body. The force necessary to push the blood out into the body requires the muscular wall of the left ventricle to much more developed.
