Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which chamber of the heart has the thickest wall?
A
Right atrium
B
Left atrium
C
Right ventricle
D
Left ventricle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle has the thickest wall out of all the chambers. The left ventricle is responsible for pumping the blood towards the tissues of the heart. This is why more muscles contracting inside the left ventricle helps produce a higher force to move the blood towards the system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The myocardium is thickest in the left ventricle, as this chamber must create substantial pressure to pump blood into the aorta and throughout systemic circulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Step by step answer:The left ventricle has the thickest walls since it is the major siphoning office of the heart. The oxygenated blood enters the left chamber, goes through the bicuspid valve and into the left ventricle. The blood leaves the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve and enters the aorta.
