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
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.
Systolic blood pressure is when the left ventricle contracts (first number), diastolic pressure is when the left ventricle relaxes (second number).
systolic pressure
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.
During systole
The systolic pressure.
no, it only makes it harder for the left ventricle to get blood
left ventricle
The left ventricle is more muscular than the right ventricle. This is because the left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the entire body, requiring greater force and pressure, while the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, which is a shorter and less demanding circuit. The thicker muscular walls of the left ventricle enable it to generate the higher pressure needed for systemic circulation.
