ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like other muscles in the body, your heart needs blood to get oxygen and nutrients. Your coronary arteries supply blood to your heart. These arteries branch off from the aorta so that oxygen-rich blood is delivered to your heart as well as the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -11. Left ventricle: Receives oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium and pumps blood into the aorta. 12. Aortic valve: Allows blood to pass from the left ventricle to the aorta; prevents backflow of blood into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your main pulmonary artery and your aorta are the two great vessels that carry blood out of your heart. A crucial difference is that your pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood, while your aorta carries oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle (one of your heart’s four chambers) to the rest of your body. The ascending aorta is the first part closest to your heart. This portion has two small branches. These are the major coronary arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
