Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All arteries directly or indirectly emerge from which large artery?
A
pulmonary
B
aorta
C
vena cava
D
subclavian
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The coronary arteries branch off the ascending aorta to supply the heart with blood. The aortic arch curves over the heart, giving rise to branches that bring blood to the head, neck, and arms. The descending thoracic aorta travels down through the chest.

Detailed explanation-2: -The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. This artery is responsible for transporting oxygen rich blood from your heart to the rest of your body. The aorta begins at the left ventricle of the heart, extending upward into the chest to form an arch.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ascending aorta gives off two arteries, which, albeit few, are very important. These are the left and right coronary arteries that provide arterial supply to the heart. These arteries spring out of the origin point of the ascending aorta, a segment referred to as the aortic root.

Detailed explanation-4: -The aorta is a large, cane-shaped vessel that delivers oxygen-rich blood to your body. It starts in the lower-left part of the heart and passes through the chest and abdomen.

Detailed explanation-5: -All systemic arteries are branches, either directly or indirectly, from the aorta. The aorta ascends from the left ventricle, curves posteriorly and to the left, then descends through the thorax and abdomen. This geography divides the aorta into three portions: ascending aorta, arotic arch, and descending aorta.
