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'.
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.
Which aorta pump blood to left ventricle ascending aorta or descending aorta?
Blood goes in this order... Right Atrium -> Right Ventricle -> Lungs -> Left Atrium -> Left Ventricle -> Ascending Aorta -> Descending Aorta. So neither pump blood to the the Left Ventricle but the Left Ventricle pumps blood to the ascending aorta.
What is the purpose of the Right ventricle?
To pump blood into the lungs to be oxygenated.
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'.
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 right ventricle calles the lungs pump?
Your right ventricle pumps blood to your lungs. So the same is called as lung pump.
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 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.
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.
Which aorta pump blood to left ventricle ascending aorta or descending aorta?
Blood goes in this order... Right Atrium -> Right Ventricle -> Lungs -> Left Atrium -> Left Ventricle -> Ascending Aorta -> Descending Aorta. So neither pump blood to the the Left Ventricle but the Left Ventricle pumps blood to the ascending aorta.
What of the heart pump blood into the pulmonary artery?
Right ventricle.
What is the purpose of the right ventricle is to?
Pump blood into the lungs to be oxygenated.
What is the purpose of the Right ventricle?
To pump blood into the lungs to be oxygenated.
