In a healthy human heart, the wall of the left ventricle is significantly thicker than the wall of the right ventricle. During a single cardiac cycle, the pressure in the left ventricle and the aorta changes, causing the opening and closing of the atrioventricular and semilunar valves.
Describe the changes in pressure in the left ventricle and the aorta during one cardiac cycle, and explain how these changes relate to the greater thickness of the left ventricle wall compared to the right ventricle wall.
