The left ventricle is more muscular than the right ventricle because it pumps the blood at a higher pressure. Just as any other muscle in your body... If you work one and not the other- the one you work gets bigger and the opposing won't. The left ventricle pumps blood at a higher pressure because it has a further distance to travel, blood from the left ventricle goes to all areas of the body. The right ventricle only has to pump blood to the lungs which is a much shorter distance, therefore less pressure is required.
Because it has to do more work than the right ventricle which just pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation for the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation for the whole of the rest of the body.
The wall of the left ventricle is about three times thicker than that of the right ventricle, because the left ventricle must generate a force sufficient to push blood through the systemic circulation and return it to the heart.
The left ventricle is thicker than the right ventricle because the left ventricle needs to generate more contractile force with each pump. This is because the left ventricle is pushing blood throughout the entire body, rather than just to the lungs as the right ventricle is doing.
The left ventricle has thicker walls than the right because it needs to pump blood to most of the body while the right ventricle fills only the lungs.
The left ventricle has to pump blood to the entire body. The right ventricle only has to pump blood to the lungs.
Because the left ventricle pushes blood through most vessels in the body, so it's thicker because more force is needed for the contraction.
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 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 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.
The left side of the heart is bigger because it has to pump harder to get the oxygenated blood all the way around your body. The right side merely receives de-oxygenated (venous) blood.

it pumps blood into the high resistance systemic circulation
The lower two chambers of the heart are the ventricles. The left ventricle is larger, with thicker walls, than the right ventricle.
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 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.
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.
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.
The left side of the heart has a thicker ventricular wall. The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood into the aorta, thereby providing oxygen to all parts of the body. The right ventricle, in contrast, only has the responsibility of pumping de-oxygenated blood into the lungs for the exchange of gases, which requires less pressure than pushing blood through the entire body.
The left side of the heart is bigger because it has to pump harder to get the oxygenated blood all the way around your body. The right side merely receives de-oxygenated (venous) blood.
