Your right ventricle pumps blood to your lungs. So the same is called as lung pump.
What else can I help you with?
What is the purpose of the Right ventricle?
To pump blood into the lungs to be oxygenated.
What is the purpose of the right ventricle is to?
Pump blood into the lungs to be oxygenated.
Which ventrical is larger?
Left; it has to pump blood head to toe. The right only has to pump blood to the lungs
Were does the blood come from the right ventricle?
Blood flows into the right ventricle from the right atrium. The right ventricle will contract and pump the blood out to the lungs via the pulmonary veins to get oxygenated.
Why do you think that the muscle of the left ventricle is thicker than that of 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'.
Does the left ventricle pump the same amount of blood as the right ventricle?
Yes, the left ventricle pumps throughout the entire body, but the right ventricle only goes to the lungs. Yes, the left ventricle pumps throughout the entire body, but the right ventricle only goes to the lungs.
Where does right ventricle pump blood when it contracts?
The right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary arteries which carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs to be oxygenated.
Why is the wall of the left ventricle thicker than that of the right ventricle?
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)
What is the significance of the difference in thickness of the myocardium of the right ventricle and the left ventricle?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body, while the right ventricle pumps blood only to the lungs, which are immediately adjacent to the heart. Hence, the left ventricle has to pump with greater force, and requires more muscle to do it.
Why left ventricle thicker?
Because it has to pump blood to most of the body, whilst the right ventricle only has the lungs to fill.
Which heart chambers pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs and which chambers receive oxygenated blood from the lungs?
right ventricle
Is the left ventricle of the heart bigger than the right ventricle?
because the left ventricle has to pump blood all around the body under high pressure, whereas the right ventricle only has to pump blood to the lungs under low pressure.
