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.
