The muscle of the left side of your heart is larger and thicker than the right one because the left part of your heart has to pump blood to your whole body, while the right part only has to pump blood to your lungs. More work needs bigger muscles.

How is the human heart related to the circulatory system?
Human heart pumps the blood all around the body. The left side of the heart is thicker than then the right side because the left side has to pump the blood all around the body or shall I say long distance from heart.
