Why is the wall of the left ventricle thicker the the wall of the right ventricle?
The Left Ventricle has to send blood all through the body. This requires more force, therefore more muscle.

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.
What is the significance of the difference in thickness of the myocardium of the right ventricle and the left ventricle?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body, while the right ventricle pumps blood only to the lungs, which are immediately adjacent to the heart. Hence, the left ventricle has to pump with greater force, and requires more muscle to do it.
Why is the ltventricle bigger than the rt ventricle?
Thewall of the left ventricle is thicker than the wall of the right ventricle. This is because the left ventricle has to produce a larger force than the right ventricle. Blood from the right ventricle only has to go to the lungs, which are close to the heart. However blood from the left ventricle has to go all round the rest of the body, a much greater distance and so it meets more resistance from the blood vessels. For this reason the left ventricle has to generate a greater force to overcome the greater resistance, so it has more muscle, making its wall thicker. The volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle has to be the same.
What are the difference from the left ventricle from the right?
The left ventricle is larger, more muscular, and more powerful than the right ventricle. It pumps blood to the entire body, while the right ventricle pumps blood through the lungs only.
Why is the left ventricle thicker than the right?
In a mirror.
Being larger than the right ventricle the left ventricle pumps more blood in each beat?
= Being larger than the right ventricle the left ventricle pumps more blood in each beat?" =
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)
Name the four cavites of the heart?
The four "cavities" or more commonly "chambers" are the left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle and right ventricle
What is the ventricle?
The right and left ventricle almost have the same job. The left ventricle has a harder job then the right ventricle. The right ventricle only has to contract and blood is forced out of the heart through a large vessel. And then has to pump the blood into the lungs. The left ventricle has a lot harder job it actually works six times more harder then the right ventricle. The left ventricle has to pump blood through your WHOLE body. Yea it has a lot harder job. :)
What is the significance differences in thickness of ventricular wall?
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. =]
