Why is the myocardium of the right ventricle thinner than that of the left ventricle? A. the left ventricle has to pump a greater volume of blood than the right ventricle. B. it results from left ventricular hypertrophy due to increased peripheral resistance. C. it pumps blood into the low resistance pulmonary circulation. D. it pumps blood into the high resistance systemic circulation.
Option C. The Right ventricle can provide blood to the lungs which has a incredibly low resistance to blood flow. Hence a small stress will sufficient.
