Why is the myocardium of the left ventricle thicker than that of the right ventricle?
it pumps blood into the high resistance systemic circulation
Why is the left ventricle thicker than then right ventricle?
In a mirror.
Is the left ventricle thicker than right ventricle because pumps blood against a greater resistance?
The left side of the heart is much bigger and stronger because it must pump blood through out to the entire body. The right side of the heart must only pump blood through the lungs (and then to the left side). So, since the blood is pumped in through and out of the left side with more pressure, the myocardium must be thicker.
The myocardium of what ventricle is thicker than the other ventricle?
The left side of the heart has a thicker ventricular wall. The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood into the aorta, thereby providing oxygen to all parts of the body. The right ventricle, in contrast, only has the responsibility of pumping de-oxygenated blood into the lungs for the exchange of gases, which requires less pressure than pushing blood through the entire body.
When the heart muscle contract?
The heart muscle, myocardium, contracts when in the systolic phase, which is the part when the blood is being pushed out of the left ventricle into the aorta. The wall of the left ventricle tends to be much thicker than than the right ventricle because of the amount of of pressure it exerts the oxygen rich blood into the aorta. Seeing as though the heart is a muscle, if it is worked more, it gets stronger. The myocardium is an involuntary muscle that is controlled by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
Is the apex of the heart thicker or thinner than the ventricles?
You really can't compare the apex with both because of the apex is made up of only one of the ventricles (the left) and the left is thicker than the right.
What adaptation do you see with the walls of the left ventricle being thicker than those of the right ventricle?
The wall of the left ventricle is thicker because it pumps blood to the entire body. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, so it does not have to be as strong as the left ventricle.The oxygenated blood that comes into the left ventricle has to be transported to all the parts of the body. For this reason, the left ventricle has thicker muscle walls that pump blood at a higher pressure than the right ventricle that pumps blood only to the lungs.
Why is the wall of the left ventricle thicker than that of the right ventricle?
The right ventricle just receive the blood and pump it into the lungs only, but the left ventricle pump the blood to all round the body, to do the ventricle wall is more thicker, that's why the left ventricle have thicker wall..... Hope I helped you!! (Ivy Yumi Y)
Why does the left side of the heart thicker than the right side of the heart?
Because it pumps blood to the whole body
How do the walls of the left chambers compare to the walls of the right chambers?
The walls of the left ventricles are very much thicker as compared to the walls of the right ventricle. The left ventricles has to push the blood to whole body. The right ventricle has to push the blood to the lungs only.
Why are the walls of left ventricles thicker than the walls of right ventricles?
Because the left ventricle pushes blood through most vessels in the body, so it's thicker because more force is needed for the contraction.
Why do you think that the muscle of the left ventricle is thicker than that of the right ventricle?
The left ventricle has to pump blood through out the entire body. The right has to pump blood to the lungs which are really 'next door'.
