The Aorta is the perhaps the most important of the 4 blood vessels of the heart.

The Aorta is an Artery meaning that it takes blood away from the heart. The Aorta is particularly important because it supplies the entire body, except the lungs, with oxygenated blood.

It's pretty safe to say that without the Aorta, you would either be dead, make a big mess of blood, or both!

Hope this helps.
