Detailed explanation-1: -The aortic root is the section of the aorta closest to and attached to the heart. An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of an artery. If the aneurysm develops in the aortic root, the aorta can dilate and the aortic valve can leak (regurgitation). If the aneurysm continues to expand, it can rupture.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood vessels are angi or angio. Veins are ven or veno or phleb or phlebo. Aorta is aort. Heart is cardi or cardio. Arteries are arteri or arterio.
Detailed explanation-3: -The aorta is a cane-shaped artery. It starts in the lower-left chamber of your heart (ventricle). From there, it extends up toward your head a short distance before curving down. The aorta passes through your chest and abdominal cavities and ends at your pelvis.
Detailed explanation-4: -The aorta is the largest vessel within the human body. It originates from the left ventricle of the heart anterior to the pulmonary artery before arching posteriorly and descending along the posterior mediastinum.
