SSC MTS EXAM

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: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is D-the left ventricle generates the highest pressure during systole.

Detailed explanation-3: -The left ventricle is thicker and more muscular than the right ventricle because it pumps blood at a higher pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pressure distending the ventricle immediately prior to contraction is the end-diastolic pressure. This is equivalent to the pressure in the left atrium at this time in the absence of the disease of the mitral valve. Clinically, LV preload is assessed by measurements of the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.
