What are the differences of the left and right ventricles?

Answer 1

Both the left and right ventricles of the heart pump blood out of the heart, the difference is in where the blood goes. The right ventricle pushes blood into the pulmonary artery where it flows to the lungs and becomes oxygenated. This blood returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins and is then pushed into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps the oxygenated blood out of the heart and into the aorta. This blood then travels through arteries and capillaries throughout the whole body supplying tissues with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. Since the left ventricle is responsible for pushing blood a greater distance (throughout the whole body as opposed to straight to the lings) it tends to be more muscular than the right ventricle.

Answer 2

in most people and mammals, the right ventricle carries deoxygenated blood and the left ventricle carries oxygenated blood. the left one is larger in muscle size but not capacity due to it having to pump systemicly.

Answer 3

The 'right' side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood out of the pulmonary artory to the lung capillaries to be oxygenated, which then after oxygenation travels down the pulmonary vein into the 'left' atrium to be pumped through the entire body via the aorta

Answer 4

The blood that moves through the left ventricle is oxygen rich blood and the blood that moves through the right ventricle is oxygen poor blood that is filled with carbon dioxide. The right ventricle pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs which oxygenate the blood and then the oxygen rich blood goes through the left ventricle. From the left ventricle the oxygen goes to the body and then returns to the heart as oxygen poor blood again, and then the cycle restarts. :D

Answer 5

The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood to the body. The left ventricle is much more muscular than the right and has much thicker walls.

Answer 6

um...the right one carrys oxygen rich blood and the left carrys oxgen poor blood so there!

Answer 7

The left ventricle is more muscular than the right because it has to pump blood through the systemic circuit - whereas the left only has to pump blood through the pulmonary circuit.

Answer 8

left pumps oxygenated blood to the body where as right pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs.

Answer 9

left takes blood in and right pushes it out
