The bottom of the heart is more muscular because that is where the blood exits the heart: deoxygenated blood has to be forced out of the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery, and oxygenated blood has to be forced from the left ventricle into the aorta - the force of the contraction is what sends the blood circulating all around the body & so it takes pretty hefty muscle to do the job.

Why does your cardiovascular system need exercise?

Very basically the blood provides the body's working muscles with oxygen. During a work-out, the muscles are using up more oxygen than they would at rest. Various mechanisms transmit this information to the heart which increases the heart rate to push blood through the lungs around the body faster to get more oxygen to the muscles.


What are the crus muscles?

The crus muscles (there are two) are muscles that connect the bottom of the diaphragm to the spine. These muscles assist in breathing. When we inhale, the crus muscles pull the bottom of the diaphragm towards the spine, allowing more space for the expansion of the lungs. They release the diaphragm when we exhale so that the diaphragm may return to its relaxed, dome-shaped position. The left crus muscle is slightly shorter than the right crus muscle.

Are strained muscles voluntary or involuntary muscles?

A "strained"muscle is one that has been used more than normal, and is a voluntary muscle. Involuntary muscles are those that work without your having to think about it (heart for example) and are very difficult to "strain."
