The left side of your heart is much stronger than the right because the blood that's in the left side of the heart needs to be pumped all over the body. Note also that blood that is pumped from the other side only needs to go to the lungs and there is not a huge distance from the heart to the lungs.
The heart is a organ that pumps blood all over the body. The right side receives blood (low in oxygen) from all over the body. The left side receives (oxygen rich) blood from the lungs. When blood is pumped all over the body, it loses its oxygen. After being pumped to all parts of the body, it returns to the heart and enters the right atrium and right ventricle. The blood is then pumped to the lungs and returns to the heart (this time on the left side). This blood (now rich in oxygen) flows all over the body. It looses its oxygen again and enters the heart on the right side and is then pumped to the lungs. Then the cycle starts again and again.

∙ 12y agoNo. The right atrium has thinner walls (about 2 mm thick) than the left atrium (about 3 mm) or the right ventricle (4 to 5 mm), into which it empties. The low pressure of the blood from the vena cava does not require as much tissue to contain.
The left ventricle has the thickest walls, ranging from 2 mm at the apex to between 8 and 15 mm, as it contains the blood being pumped out into the body at the systolic pressure.

The four chambers are; Left atrium Right atrium Left Ventricle Right Ventricle The two upper chambers are called atria (singular: atrium) and the two lower chambers are called ventricles. There are four chambers of the heart - the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle and left ventricle.
What are the four parts of a human heart?
4 chambers, the Left and right Atrium which are on the top and the left and right ventricals which are on the bottom
How is the heart sectioned?
into 4, right ventricle, left ventricle, right atrium,left atrium
Which two chambers of the heart have thinner walls than the others?
The right and left Atrium
When blood enters the left atrium its muscular walls are?
strong then the right atrium but not as strong as the left ventricle because the left atrium deals with a higher pressure in comparison to the right atrium. The walls of the posterior left atrium are smooth, this part receives the 4 pulmonary veins The wall of the anterior left atrium contain musculi pectinati, small ridges in the wall Unlike in the right atrium there is no definitive division between the two

What are all the chambers form the right atrium?
the right atrium is its own chambers. there are four, right and left atrium, and right and left ventricle
Name the 4 chamber of the heart?
The 4 chambers of the heart are: 1.Left atrium 2.Left ventricle 3.Right atrium 4.Right ventricle
Does the atrium have depxgyenated blood?
well you have two atria the right atrium and left atrium but i think the right atrium has deoxygenated blood and the left atrium has oxygenated blood.

The right atrium which passes it to the right ventricle
