Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle pumps blood to all parts of the body, while the right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs. Therefore, the wall of the left ventricle is thicker than the right ventricle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The left ventricle wall is thicker than the right ventricle wall due to where the blood is being pumped. Since the left ventricle pumps blood to the whole of the body it needs to be stronger than the right ventricle which only pumps blood to the lungs.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Final Answer: the left ventricular wall of the heart is thicker than the right ventricular wall to pump blood with greater pressure.
Detailed explanation-5: -The left ventricle free wall is composed of the area of the left ventricular wall not in contact with the interventricular septum and is not part of the apex. In an attitudinally correct position the free wall is lateral and posterior.
