Systole and diastole most often refer to the ventricle of the heart. Systole is contraction of the ventricle, and diastole is the relaxation of the ventricle.
It is the ventricle
The right bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the right ventricle (the lower chamber of the heart) and the left bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the left ventricle.
You need more force to pump the blood to the lungs or the body than you do just to pump it to the next chamber. The atria pump to the ventricles. Easy. The ventricles need to pump the blood to the lungs (right ventricle) or the body (left ventricle) which calls for more pressure, hence a larger contraction wave.
The left ventricle
Ventricle. It's a single ventricle heart.
Contraction: 'eject' the blood out of the heart due to reduce in size of heart chamber. From left ventricle, the blood will be pushed into the systemic circulation whereas on the right ventricle, the dehydrogenated blood is pushed into the pulmonary circulation (ie: lung). Relaxation: allow the heart to be filled with blood. Freshly oxygenated blood from the lung will move into left atrium and so thus the left ventricle whereas on the right side of the heart, blood now started to fill in the right atrium and the right ventricle again.
The left ventricle is the thickest and most powerful chamber of the heart. It has to pump blood further (to the body) than the right ventricle (to the lungs).
