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 a large, cane-shaped vessel that delivers oxygen-rich blood to your body. It starts in the lower-left part of the heart and passes through the chest and abdomen. Along the way, blood vessels branch off the aorta, extending to organs and supporting tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -The aorta is the largest artery of the body and carries blood from the heart to the circulatory system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Where is the ascending aorta located? The ascending aorta sits atop the left ventricle on the left side of your heart. It extends up and over the heart. It’s located in your chest right behind the “breastbone” (sternum).

Detailed explanation-5: -Next is the pulmonary artery that carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The aorta is the body’s largest artery. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
