Detailed explanation-1: -What is the ascending aorta? The ascending aorta is the first part of the aorta, which is the largest blood vessel in your body. It comes out of your heart and pumps blood through the aortic arch and into the descending aorta . The aorta plays an essential role as the main “pipe” supplying blood to your entire body.
Detailed explanation-2: -The upward part of the arch, which is the section closest to the heart, is called the ascending aorta. The part of the aorta in the chest is called the thoracic aorta. The portion further down in your trunk is called the abdominal aorta.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your ascending aorta curves upward from your heart and leads to the aortic arch. It’s located only in your chest. Your descending aorta curves downward on the other side of your aortic arch. It extends from your chest down into your belly.
