The left ventricle wall is thicker because it must pump blood at higher pressure to the entire body, unlike the right ventricle which pumps only to the lungs.
Por que a parede do ventrículo esquerdo é mais espessa que a direita? Porque o ventrículo esquerdo tem que bombear sangue a uma pressão mais alta para todo o corpo, enquanto o ventrículo direito vai apenas para os pulmões.
