The aortic arch is the portion of the main artery that bends between the ascending and descending aorta. It leaves the heart and ascends, then descends back to create the arch. The aorta distributes blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body. Certain complications of the aorta may ultimately lead to blocked blood vessels. These blockages restrict blood flow to the rest of the body, which can eventually result in swelling and even an aneurysm. The conditions associated with the aortic arch are:

Aorta is the Main blood vessel coming directly out of the heart it spilts into 4 other sub vessels three go to the upper body and one goes dwon to supply the rest of the body with the oxygenated rich blood.

Watch an animation of heart valve anatomy. 1  Closes off the lower right chamber (or right ventricle). 2  Opens to allow blood to be pumped from the heart to the lungs (through the pulmonary artery) where it will receive oxygen.

Abdominal aorta: The abdominal aorta is the final section of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. It is a continuation of the thoracic aorta. It begins at the diaphragm, and runs down to the point where it ends (by splitting in two to form the common iliac arteries).

AORTIC VALVE. Closes off the lower left chamber that holds the oxygen-rich blood before it is pumped out to the body. Opens to allow blood to leave the heart (from the left ventricle to the aorta and on to the body).

The aorta is the largest artery in the human body and it carries a large amount of red oxygenated blood away from the heart. Function of aorta is to transport oxygenated blood from the heart to other parts of our body.

The aorta is the largest artery in the human body and it carries a large amount of red oxygenated blood away from the heart. It then branches off into many smaller arteries which deliver the oxygen to cells so they can conduct cellular respiration and produce energy.

The abdominal aorta supplies oxygenated blood to all of the abdominal and pelvic organs and the legs. Like the other sections of the aorta (the ascending aorta, aortic arch and thoracic aorta), the abdominal aorta is an arbitrary anatomic entity. The aorta is one continuous conduit that arises out of the left ventricle of the heart to carry blood to the body.

Here are the four valves in order of circulation: TRICUSPID VALVE. Closes off the upper right chamber (or atrium) that holds blood coming in from the body. Opens to allow blood to flow from the top right chamber to the lower right chamber (or from right atrium to right ventricle). Prevents the back flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium when blood is pumped out of the ventricle.
