What comes off the aorta?

Three arteries come off the Aortic Arch (from left to right) 1. Brachiocephalic Artery 2. Left Common Carotid Artery 3. Left Subclavian Artery. Then After the Aorta arches it then descends behind the heart and turns into the Descending Aorta which is then classified as either the Thoracic Descending Aorta or the Abdominal Descending Aorta.

What are the subdivisions of the aorta?

The aorta is one vessel that can be conceptualized in six parts: The aortic root: connects the aorta to the left ventricle. The coronary arteries emerge from this part. Ascending aortia: Moving away from the heart towards the neck. Aortic arch: the aorta turns at this point to descend towards the rest of the body. Branches to the brain and upper extremities branch away here. Descending aorta: extends down the back and divides into the common iliac arteries. The portion above the diaphragm is the thoracic aorta, the portion below the diagram is the abdominal aorta.

What is the descending abdominal aorta?

The aorta is the large blood vessel that comes out of your heart and contains the blood that has been oxygenated in your lungs and is ready to go to the rest of your body. It is one big tube with smaller arteries coming off of it until it needs to split in two to reach the legs, at which point it becomes the two femoral arteries. The aorta is shaped a bit like a question mark. Get out a piece of paper and a pencil, and start by drawing a short (a couple of inches) vertical line in the middle of the page. Now from the top of that line, continue it in an arch curving up and to the right, then back toward the middle of the page, then down, like a question mark. The line that goes up at the beginning is the ascending aorta, the middle more horizontal part is the arch, and when it turns and comes back down, it is the descending aorta.
