Obstruction of circulation through the lungs can put a strain on the right ventricle which must work to pump blood against this increased resistance and can lead to failure of that chamber?

Why is the myocardium of the left ventricle thicker than that of the right ventricle?
it pumps blood into the high resistance systemic circulation
Does the right ventricle move blood around the systemic system?
No, the right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary circulation. The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation.
Is the after load the resistance what the ventricle in the heart has to contract against?
The resistance against which the ventricle contracts is know as afterload.
What ventricle is responsible for blood flow through the pulmonary circulation?
right ventricle
Systemic circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs?
system circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs
Where is the left ventricle going?
The blood in the left ventricle is squeezed into the coronary, and systemic circulation.
Where does the right ventricle pump blood to?
the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation
What is the function of the l and r ventricle?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
Which ventricle pumps blood the farthest?
Left Ventricle because it has to pump the blood throughout systemic circulation.
To what parts of the body the left ventricle pumps blood?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation, reaching all parts of the body. The right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary circulation, where the blood picks up oxygen.
What pumps oxygenated blood to the lungs?
The right ventricle is responsible for that
What is the correct path of blood in pulmonary circulation?
Right ventricle,artery,lungs,vein,left atrium,left ventricle
