The inlet of the left ventricle is the entrance into the left ventricle. It is guarded by the orifice of the mitral valve.

The chordae tendineae spuriae of the left ventricle are cords that do not attach to the atrioventricular valves.

Chordae tendineae of left atrioventricular valve are fibrous string cords that anchor the mitral valve leaflets to the left ventricle. The majority of the chordae tendinae connect the valve to the papillary muscles.

Fine apical trabeculations are fine, mesh-like structures located on the inner surface of the apical portion of the left ventricle. They are notably finer than those in the right ventricle.

Trabeculae carneae of left ventricle are raised muscular bands that are situated in the trabecular part of the left ventricle. They are smaller than the trabecular carnae of the right ventricle.
