ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The aorta is the main artery that carries blood away from your heart to the rest of your body. The blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve. Then it travels through the aorta, making a cane-shaped curve that allows other major arteries to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain, muscles and other cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It moves oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Aortic coarctation (ko-ahrk-TAY-shun) is a narrowing of the aorta. It forces the heart to pump harder to move blood through the aorta.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The aorta is the largest artery because it connects directly to the heart and is the starting point for blood transport to the entire body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The aorta begins to descend in the thoracic cavity and is consequently known as the thoracic aorta. After the aorta passes through the diaphragm, it is known as the abdominal aorta. The aorta ends by dividing into two major blood vessels, the common iliac arteries and a smaller midline vessel, the median sacral artery.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your heart pumps oxygen-rich blood into the biggest artery in your body-your aorta.
