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.
The reason why the left ventricle is thicker than right ventricle is because it requires more blood to pumped or to force it back to the aorta.
The left ventricle has to pump blood further (through out the body) and has to do that with more force.
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)
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'.
The lower two chambers of the heart are the ventricles. The left ventricle is larger, with thicker walls, than the right ventricle.
That would be the left ventricle. It's thicker than the right ventricle because it pumps blood all over the body as opposed to the right ventricle which only pumps blood to the lungs.

The left ventricle must pump blood to the aorta which sends blood to the entire body. The right ventricle only has to pump blood to the lungs, therefore the left ventricle has to be stronger and thicker than the right.

it pumps blood into the high resistance systemic circulation
Because it has to pump blood to most of the body, whilst the right ventricle only has the lungs to fill.
The enlargement of the right heart ventricle among the Quechua Indians is an adaptation to their environment. The relative date that these studies were performed was in the 1970s.

the right ventricle contains deoxegynated blood, but the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood out at a much more forceful rate (it has to get to the rest of you body). Therefore, the left ventricle wall is thicker. =]
The Left Ventricle has to send blood all through the body. This requires more force, therefore more muscle.
The thicker walls of the left ventricle allow for greater pumping force. This increased force is needed because blood in the systemic circuit must travel much farther than that in the pulmonary circuit.
The right side of the heart ventricle is thicker because it contains more muscle since it has to pump blood through the whole body. The right ventricle is thinner because it has less mucle since it only has to pump blood to the left ventricle which is only a few inches away.
