Which are the first arteries to branch off the aorta?
The aorta is usually divided into five segments/sections:Ascending aorta: the section between the heart and the arch of aortaArch of aorta-the peak part that looks somewhat like an inverted "U"Descending aorta-the section from the arch of aorta to the point where it divides into the common iliac arteriesThoracic aorta-the half of the descending aorta above the diaphragmAbdominal aorta-the half of the descending aorta below the diaphragm
What does the dorsal aorta do?
The abdominal aorta provides oxygenated blood and nutrients to the lower half of the bodyThe abdominal aorta is the final section of the largest artery in the body. It supplies oxygenated blood to the abdominal organs, pelvic organs, and the legs.
What is the section of descending aorta inferior to the diaphragm?
abdominal aorta is the portion of the descending aorta inferior to the diaphragm. it passes thru a hole in the diaphragm called aortic hiatus
What is the name of the aorta as it travels through the chest?
descending aorta
What is the main artery in the heart?
The Aorta.

What are the branchs of the abdominal aorta?
branches of abdominal aorta are classified into three. these are : ventral branches, dorsal branches and lateral branches. ventral branch consists of : coeliac artery (at T12 vertebral level ). superior mesenteric artery(at L1 level). inferior mesenteric artery(at L3 level). dorsal branch consists of : right and left lumbar arteries. median sacral artery. lateral branches consists : right and left inferior phrenic arteries. right and left suprarenal arteries. right and left renal arteries. right and left gonadal arterries. terminal branches are right and left common illiac arteries.
What blood vessel supplies the descending aorta with blood?
blood travels from the ascending aorta to the aortic arch to the descending aorta
What body cavity is the ascending aorta found?
Ascending aorta, arch of aorta and the descending aorta are located in your thoracic cavity.

What aorta turns inferiorly behind the heart?
The descending aorta.The aorta is divided in ascending, aortic arch, descending, thoracic, and abdominal.
What is the main artery in the heart?
The Aorta.
What is the largest vessel that is attached to the heart and what does it do?
The largest vessel attached to the heart is the Aorta, and it is responsible for delivering blood to the body. It is categorized in 2 groups, the Ascending Aorta and the Descending Aorta. The Ascending aorta includes the Carotid Arteries, which deliver blood to the brain, and the Subclavian Arteries, which brings blood to the arms. The Descending Aorta is located in the thoracic cavity with the rest of the heart and Aorta and is the part of the Aorta that curves down toward the bottom of the body and branches off into other arteries which supply the bottom portion of the body with blood.
