How do you think the muscle thickness related to the function of the heart?

The right ventricle has thinner muscle, as it only needs to generate enough pressure to pump blood to the lungs (which are right next to the heart). The Left ventricle will have thicker walls because it needs to generate much more pressure to pump blood around the body.

How are the structure and function of an organisms parts related?
The structure and function relate because what the structure is made of infuences what the organ's function is. An example is that the heart is made of strong muscle cells. Therefore, it is fit to do the job of pumping blood around the body.

What does the myo mean in myocardial?
myo is related to the word "muscle" myocardial refers to the heart muscle when someone says he had an "MI" (myocardial infarction) it means they had a heart attack - a lack of oxygen to the myocardium (heart muscle) The heart muscle has its own particular muscle that is found no where else in the body.
How does lack of oxygen lead to heart attack or stroke?
The myocard (cardiac muscle), the muscle that makes your heart pump, needs oxygen to function. This oxygen is distributed through the blood that flows in the coronary arteries, which lie around the cardiac muscle. When there is not enough oxygen in your blood, the cardiac muscle does not get enough oxygen to fully function and your heart will not be able to function, over time. This starts at about 3 minutes after stopping to get oxygen.
