Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Supplying oxygen to the heart’s muscle These arteries branch off from the aorta so that oxygen-rich blood is delivered to your heart as well as the rest of your body. The left coronary artery delivers blood to the left side of your heart, including your left atrium and ventricle and the septum between the ventricles.
Detailed explanation-3: -The aorta begins at the left ventricle of the heart, extending upward into the chest to form an arch. It then continues downward into the abdomen, where it branches into the iliac arteries just above the pelvis.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
