Yes, because if it created too much pressure then the capillaries in the lungs (which are about one cell thick) would bust, resulting in inefficient gaseous exchange in the alveoli.

Is the pressure in the right ventricle higher or lower than the left ventricle?
The pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than the pressure in the right ventricle. This is true with the assumption that you are referring to ventricular systole (contraction of the ventricle). The left ventricle forces blood out of the heart into the aorta to all parts of the body, and that same pressure forces blood back through the veins.

C Left Ventricle
Why is blood pressure higher in left ventricle than in right ventricle?
The pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than the pressure in the right ventricle. This is true with the assumption that you are referring to ventricular systole (contraction of the ventricle). The left ventricle forces blood out of the heart into the aorta to all parts of the body, and that same pressure forces blood back through the veins.
Is the left side of the heart bigger?
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.
Why must the heart contract very strongly to pump blood from the left ventricle into the aorta?
The left ventricle pumps blood at a higher pressure because it sends blood all over the body where as the right ventricle pumps to the lungs,

When does diastolic pressure occur?
In the Right Ventricle

Why is blood pressure higher in left ventricle than in right ventricle?
The pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than the pressure in the right ventricle. This is true with the assumption that you are referring to ventricular systole (contraction of the ventricle). The left ventricle forces blood out of the heart into the aorta to all parts of the body, and that same pressure forces blood back through the veins.
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.
What adaptation do you see in the walls of the left ventricle being thicker than those of the right ventricle?
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.
Does the right ventricle carry blood to the lungs?
Strictly speaking, anatomically, the right ventricle carries the blood from the right atrium to the pulmonary artery. The right ventricle contracts and propels the blood into the pulmonary artery at a higher pressure than that found in the right atrium.
Is the left side of the heart bigger?
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.

What veins connect to the aorta?
The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.
Which ventricle of the heart ejects blood towards the lungs?
right ventricle
Interventricular septum separates the left ventricle from what side?
right ventricle
