Ligaments: is a tough material that connects bones together at the joints. Cartilage: is a smooth tough material that protects the end of the bones. It protects the end of t â¦ he bones. Tendons: is a rubber-like cords. it's function is it stretch as the muscles and the bones move.
Yes, the pressure generated (under normal anatomic conditions, mind you) is higher in the left ventricle than the right. This is due to the higher systemic pressures being pumped against by the left ventricle, compared to the relatively low pulmonary vascular pressures opposing the right ventricular output.
However, high blood pressure, or hypertension, is the most common cause by far. Higher pressures within blood vessels put a strain on the ventricle, making it difficult to satisfy the body's needs. Also, narrowing of the aortic valve, or stenosis, obstructs blood flow from the left ventricle. In patients with HCM, the ventricle can become thick and stiff, which adds extra strain on the heart.
