Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which portion of the heart is the most muscular?
A
Right Ventricle
B
Right Atrium
C
Left Ventricle
D
Left Atrium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Left Ventricle. The left ventricle is the main powerhouse of the heart, having to pump blood all the way around the systemic circulation. Because of this it has the largest, most muscular walls of any of the chambers. In fact, it is three times as thick as the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The left ventricle is thicker and more muscular than the right ventricle because it pumps blood at a higher pressure. The right ventricle is triangular in shape and extends from the tricuspid valve in the right atrium to near the apex of the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The left ventricle, the most muscular chamber of the heart, then contracts with enough pressure to send the blood through the aortic valve and into the aorta. After the blood passes through the aortic valve it closes to prevent backflow of blood into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The left ventricle is the strongest because it has to pump blood out to the entire body. When your heart functions normally, all four chambers work together in a continuous and coordinated effort to keep oxygen-rich blood circulating throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-5: -The left ventricle is one of four chambers of the heart. It is located in the bottom left portion of the heart below the left atrium, separated by the mitral valve.
