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 divides the aorta into a superior thoracic aorta and an inferior abdominal aorta?
The diaphragm divides the aorta into a superior thoracic aorta above the diaphragm and an inferior abdominal aorta below the diaphragm.
What is the difference between the ascending aorta and the thoracic aorta?
The ascending aorta extends from the aortic root (which connects the aorta to the heart), upwards toward the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is one of two parts of the descending aorta, which extends back down towards the abdomen after the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is the part of the descending aorta that is above the diaphragm, while the abdominal aorta is below the diaphragm.
Pressure in the aorta is greatest during what?
The pressure in the aorta is greatest during ventricular systole, which is when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the aorta. This creates a surge in pressure that is known as systolic blood pressure.
One example of a congenital heart defect is A. leukemia B. chronic high blood pressure C. an abnormally narrow aorta D. anemia?
