Detailed explanation-1: -The largest artery in the body is the aorta, which is connected to the heart and extends down into the abdomen (Figure 17.4. 2). The aorta has high-pressure, oxygenated blood pumped directly into it from the left ventricle of the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because the aorta is the most compliant portion of the human arterial system, the pulse pressure is the lowest.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries: These strong, muscular blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your body. They handle a large amount of force and pressure from your blood flow but don’t carry a large volume of blood.
Detailed explanation-4: -Aorta and carotid arteries are a part of the systemic circulation and the blood pressure in them is higher than the pulmonary artery.
