Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The left ventricle has to pump harder so it has a more muscular wall
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle pumps blood at higher pressures compared to the rest of the other heart chambers, as it faces a much higher workload and mechanical afterload . In comparison to that of the right ventricle, the free wall of the left ventricle is much thicker.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The right ventricles pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps blood into aorta the largest artery, that supplies blood to the whole body. therefore, the blood is pumped with great pressure into aorta, requiring the left ventricle to be thick walled than the right.
