Detailed explanation-3: -The aorta is the first and largest artery in the body. It is responsible for transporting nutrient-rich blood to the systemic circulation following ejection from the left ventricle of the heart. The aorta extends from the aortic valve of the left ventricle to the proximal iliac bifurcation at the L4 vertebral level.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood capillaries are the smallest blood vessels.
