Detailed explanation-1: -The right ventricle has thinner wall because the right ventricle only has to pump it to the lungs but left ventricle has to pump blood all the way around the body. Moreover, the blood in arteries is under higher pressure than blood in the veins. Q.
Detailed explanation-2: -The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Further, the left ventricle has thicker walls than the right because it needs to pump blood to most of the body while the right ventricle fills only the lungs.
Detailed explanation-4: -The left ventricle is the thickest of the heart’s chambers and is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to tissues all over the body. By contrast, the right ventricle solely pumps blood to the lungs.
