Solution

Ventricle:
The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood (less oxygen-containing blood) to the lungs, while the left ventricle of the heart pumps oxygenated blood (oxygen-rich blood).
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.
