The aortic arch is the area in which the aorta bends in order to descend into the body. It also gives way to three major blood vessels. Thus, the "functions" of the aortic arch are:
- To bend back the main vessel in order to reach the part of the body below the heart itself;
- To give off 3 major arteries: the brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery.

What is the function of the aortic valve?
The aortic valve functions as a one-way valve between the heart and the rest of the body. Blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart, through the valve, and down the aorta, which in turn supplies blood to all of the organs in the body. Between heart contractions, the valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards into the heart. The function of the aortic valve is then twofold: (1) It provides a route for which blood can leave the heart, and (2) It prevents blood that has already left the heart from leaking backwards into the heart.
