if you are looking down at your own heart, the left side is responsible for pumping blood out through the aorta to your entire body. The left ventricle has a much thicker muscle because it has to push blood so far. The right side of your heart is where the blood returns (from the body, needing more oxygen) and the right ventricle pumps blood into your lungs. The blood then moves from lungs (freshly supplied with Oxygen) into the left ventricle and is ready to be pumped back out to the body again. Hope this helps
