Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It’s the muscle at the centre of your circulation system. It pumps blood around your body as your heart beats. This blood sends oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body, and carries away unwanted carbon dioxide and waste products.

The muscle wall of the left ventricle is very thick because it has to pump blood around the whole body.
