Why is the left ventricle thicker than the right?
In a mirror.
What is the pressure wave in arteries produced when the left ventricle contracts called?
"Blood pressure" is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries, maintained by the contraction of the left ventricle, the resistance of the arterioles and capillaries, the elasticity of the arterial walls, and by the viscosity and volume of the blood.
Why does left ventricle works harder than the right ventricle?
The left ventricle needs to pump blood to circulate the whole body, so it would have to exert much more pressure in order to propel the blood farther. The right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs to get re-oxygenated.
What are the differences of the left and right ventricles?
Both the left and right ventricles of the heart pump blood out of the heart, the difference is in where the blood goes. The right ventricle pushes blood into the pulmonary artery where it flows to the lungs and becomes oxygenated. This blood returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins and is then pushed into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps the oxygenated blood out of the heart and into the aorta. This blood then travels through arteries and capillaries throughout the whole body supplying tissues with oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. Since the left ventricle is responsible for pushing blood a greater distance (throughout the whole body as opposed to straight to the lings) it tends to be more muscular than the right ventricle.
Which chamber of the human heart is the largest?
All blood returns to the heart's right auricle or atrium from the vena cava. All blood returns to the heart's right auricle or atrium from the vena cava.
Where is the blood under the most pressure?
Blood is under the most pressure in the aorta- the largest artery in the body originating fro the left ventricle of the heart.
Which muscle circulates blood?
In humans, as in most vertebrates, the heart maintains the continuous flow of blood to the body. The right atrium receives the blood returning from the body under low pressure, and the right ventricle pumps it to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. On its return to the left atrium of the heart, the blood is pumped out to the body by the left ventricle.
Why does the left ventricle have a thick muscular wall?
The left ventricle pumps the most blood out of the four, the blood from the left ventricle travels all over the body. The left ventricle pumps the most blood out of the four, the blood from the left ventricle travels all over the body.
Why is the left ventricle thicker than the right?

What chamber of the heart do you think is the strongest?
Left ventricle has the strongest muscles. This ventricle has to pump blood to entire body parts. The blood pressure in the systemic aorta is about 120/80 mm of mercury. This has to be maintained by this chamber. The right ventricle has to pump blood to the lungs only. The systolic blood pressure here is about 25 mm of mercury, much less as compared to systemic blood pressure. When you actually see the muscles of the heart of cadaver, you get the idea very clearly and without further questioning.
What is the pressure wave in arteries produced when the left ventricle contracts called?
"Blood pressure" is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries, maintained by the contraction of the left ventricle, the resistance of the arterioles and capillaries, the elasticity of the arterial walls, and by the viscosity and volume of the blood.
Why are the left chambers of the heart smaller than those on the left?
You are talking the left chambers both times. The left ventricle has larger walls because it pumps blood to most of the body, while the right ventricle pumps only to the lungs. The left pumps blood through the arteries to the body. The right side pumps blood through veins to the heart. The left atrium and left ventricle are larger than their right counterparts.
Why does left ventricle works harder than the right ventricle?
The left ventricle needs to pump blood to circulate the whole body, so it would have to exert much more pressure in order to propel the blood farther. The right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs to get re-oxygenated.
Whice side of the human heart pumps blood to most of the body?
depends on if your right/left handed.
What are the most reputable blood pressure monitors?
The most reputable blood pressure monitors are those made by the USDA, or the United States Data Association who make such devices as blood pressure monitors.
What are the differences of the left and right ventricles?
Both the left and right ventricles of the heart pump blood out of the heart, the difference is in where the blood goes. The right ventricle pushes blood into the pulmonary artery where it flows to the lungs and becomes oxygenated. This blood returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins and is then pushed into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps the oxygenated blood out of the heart and into the aorta.

Since the left ventricle is responsible for pushing blood a greater distance (throughout the whole body as opposed to straight to the lings) it tends to be more muscular than the right ventricle.
What left or right atrium or ventricle carries blood to all parts of the body except to the lungs?
The left ventricle. Blood flows from your body back to the right atrium through the right ventricle then to the lungs to get oxygen. It then goes to the left atrium to the left ventricle, which is the largest, most muscular part of the heart because it pumps the oxygenated blood back to the body.
