Multiple choice — select the best answer

CRight ventricle
DRight atrium

✓ Correct answer: B. Left ventricle Answer: Left ventricle The left ventricle has the thickest walls of all the heart chambers because it needs to pump blood to the entire body, requiring great force. The right ventricle has thinner walls compared to the left ventricle as it only pumps blood to the lungs. The atria, both right and left, have thinner walls as they only need to pump blood to the ventricles and do not require as much force.
