When viewing a dissected heart,it is easy to visually discern the right and left ventricles by .

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thickness of the ventricle walls is a clear indication of the right and left ventricles. The left ventricle has a thicker wall than the right ventricle as it pumps blood to the entire body while the right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs. Tracing the auricles or finding papillary muscles do not provide as clear an indication of ventricle differentiation. Locating the apex may help distinguish the ventricles, but not as accurately as the thickness of the walls.
