The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood out to the entire body, whereas the right ventricle is only responsible for sending deoxygenated blood to the lungs to become oxygenated. Therefore, the left ventricle is more powerful and tends to be slightly larger.

Which chamber of the heart has the greatest pumping ability?

the left ventricle.. :)


What is the most powerful chamber or major chamber of the heart why?

The left ventricle is the thickest and most powerful chamber of the heart. It has to pump blood further (to the body) than the right ventricle (to the lungs).


What is the most powerful chamber or major chamber of the heart?

Left ventricle is the strongest and most important chamber of the heart. It receives oxygenated blood from left atrium, and pumps it into the aorta. Thus supplying the body with oxygenated blood. When this is said, all of the chambers are necessary for proper function of the heart.


Which is the largest chamber in the heart?

The left ventricle is the largest chamber in the heart. It is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body and has thicker muscular walls compared to the other chambers to withstand the pressure needed for systemic circulation.


What are the function of the left ventricle and the right ventricle?

The left ventricular chamber of the heart is responsible for pumping blood out of your heart and through your arteries to the rest of the body. The right ventricle, receives blood returning in the veins from the rest of the body. It them sends it to be re-oxigenated in the lungs

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.


Which chamber of the heart has the thickest walls?

Left ventricle has thickest walls and has the harder job of pumping blood to the entire body.


Is the right heart chamber usually larger than the left?

No, the left side is typically larger than the right because of the left ventricle. The left ventricle is responsible for pumping blood throughout the entire body, which requires more muscle. It pumps blood with five times more pressure than the right ventricle.


What does the left atrum do?

chamber for pumping blood Let's give this a little more detail. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins. It then pumps blood down into the left ventricle, so the left ventricle can pump oxygenated blood out to the body.
