What chamber of the heart do you think is the strongest?

Left ventricle has the strongest muscles. This ventricle has to pump blood to entire body parts. The blood pressure in the systemic aorta is about 120/80 mm of mercury. This has to be maintained by this chamber. The right ventricle has to pump blood to the lungs only. The systolic blood pressure here is about 25 mm of mercury, much less as compared to systemic blood pressure. When you actually see the muscles of the heart of cadaver, you get the idea very clearly and without further questioning.

What are the different chambers of the heart?

Your heart has four chambers. The upper chambers are called the left and right atria, and the lower chambers are called the left and right ventricles. A wall of muscle called the septum separates the left and right atria and the left and right ventricles. The left ventricle is the largest and strongest chamber in your heart. The left ventricle's chamber walls are only about a half-inch thick, but they have enough force to push blood through the aortic valve and into your body.Source: Texas Heart Institute
