<P> Ventricles have thicker walls than atria and generate higher blood pressures . The physiological load on the ventricles requiring pumping of blood throughout the body and lungs is much greater than the pressure generated by the atria to fill the ventricles . Further , the left ventricle has thicker walls than the right because it needs to pump blood to most of the body while the right ventricle fills only the lungs . </P>
