OpenStax AnatPhys fig.19.8 - Ventricular Muscle Thickness - English labels

Additional formats:
None available
Description:
Differences in Ventricular Muscle Thickness. The myocardium in the left ventricle is significantly thicker than that of the right ventricle. Both ventricles pump the same amount of blood, but the left ventricle must generate a much greater pressure to overcome greater resistance in the systemic circuit. The ventricles are shown in both relaxed and contracting states. Note the differences in the relative size of the lumens, the region inside each ventricle where the blood is contained. English labels. From OpenStax book 'Anatomy and Physiology', fig. 19.8.
