The ventricles of the heart differ primarily in size and function. The left ventricle has a thicker muscular wall compared to the right ventricle because it needs to generate higher pressure to pump oxygenated blood throughout the body. In contrast, the right ventricle has a thinner wall as it only needs to pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs at a lower pressure. Additionally, the left ventricle is more conical in shape, while the right ventricle is more crescent-shaped.
