Detailed explanation-1: -The aorta is the largest artery of the body and carries blood from the heart to the circulatory system.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The aorta is the largest artery because it connects directly to the heart and is the starting point for blood transport to the entire body.

The aorta starts at the heart’s left ventricle, arches upwards towards the neck, then curves back downward, extending into the abdomen.
