A muscular wall between the left and right ventricles?

The interventricular septum separates the left and right ventricles. This muscular wall prevents the mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood.


Why do ventricles have thicker muscular valves than atrium?

The walls of the ventricles of the heart aren't thinner than the atria, they are thicker. This is because they require more power as they pump blood around the body, while the atria only pump blood the short distance into the ventricles. More muscular walls are therefore needed to provide this power which is why they are thicker. The left ventricle is even thicker than the right ventricle as it requires a lot more power to pump blood all around the body. The right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs.


Hearts four chambers?

The heart has four chambers. The two ventricles (right and left) are muscular chambers that propel the blood out of the heart (the right ventricle to the lungs, and the left ventricle to all other organs). The two atria (right and left) hold the blood returning to the heart, and at just the right moment empty into the right and left ventricles...


What difference atria and ventricles fetal pig?

the difference between the ventricles and the atria is that the ventricles are thicker


How are atria and ventricle differ?

The atria are on the top, and ventricles on the bottom. The atria are smaller, and the ventricles bigger. The atria receive blood coming into the heart, and the ventricles send blood out of the heart. The contraction of the atria end diastole, and the contraction of the ventricles end systole.
