The wall of the left ventricle is primarily composed of cardiac muscle tissue, known as myocardium. This thick muscular layer is responsible for the contraction of the ventricle, enabling it to pump oxygenated blood to the body through the aorta. The myocardium in the left ventricle is particularly thick compared to other heart chambers, reflecting the higher force required to circulate blood throughout the systemic circulation. Additionally, the wall includes connective tissue and endothelial lining, but the myocardium is the dominant tissue type.
the septum
The intraventricular septum separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle.
The Left Ventricle has to send blood all through the body. This requires more force, therefore more muscle.
the right ventricle contains deoxegynated blood, but the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood out at a much more forceful rate (it has to get to the rest of you body). Therefore, the left ventricle wall is thicker. =]

The septum, or septal wall as it is often referred to, is what separates the left and right ventricles.
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)
The right ventricle has a less muscular wall than the left ventricle because it pumps blood to the lungs, which are located nearby, requiring less force. In contrast, the left ventricle must generate much higher pressure to pump blood throughout the entire body, necessitating a thicker, more muscular wall. This structural difference reflects the distinct functions and pressure requirements of each ventricle.
The thicker walls of the left ventricle allow for greater pumping force. This increased force is needed because blood in the systemic circuit must travel much farther than that in the pulmonary circuit.
The left ventricular wall is typically thicker than the right ventricular wall. This is because the left ventricle needs to generate enough pressure to pump oxygen-rich blood throughout the body, while the right ventricle only needs to pump blood to the lungs. The thicker wall of the left ventricle allows it to generate more forceful contractions to accomplish this.
