\green\starFunctions of right and left ventricle:


\blue\starRight ventricle: The right ventricle pushes the blood on the pulmonary artery, which then is send to lungs to pickup oxygen.


\blue\starLeft ventricle: The left ventricle distribute the oxygenated blood to the entire parts of the body.

Since, the left ventricle pushes the oxygenated blood to the entire body. Thus, left ventricle is thicker then the right ventricle.
