Left ventricle has more thick walls than the right ventricle.

Open in App

Solution

The human heart is made of four chambers two auricles and two ventricles.
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.
