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 divided into three parts: the ascending aorta (where the aorta initially leaves the heart and points toward the head), the arch of the aorta (where the aorta changes direction), and the descending aorta (where the aorta points toward the feet).
Detailed explanation-3: -Function:The function of the aorta is to carry oxygenated blood throughout the body. Location:The aorta is located at the top of the heart.
