The aorta is usually divided into five segments/sections:
Ascending aorta: the section between the heart and the arch of aorta
Arch of aorta-the peak part that looks somewhat like an inverted "U"
Descending aorta-the section from the arch of aorta to the point where it divides into the common iliac arteries
Thoracic aorta-the half of the descending aorta above the diaphragm
Abdominal aorta-the half of the descending aorta below the diaphragm

∙ 13y ago- The celiac trunk- supplies blood to the stomach, part of the duodenum, part of the pancreas, the liver and the spleen
- The superior mesenteric artery- supplies most of the small intestines, the pancreas, and the proximal portion of the large intestines
- The inferior mesenteric artery- supplies the distal part of the transverse colon, the descending colon, the sigmoid colon and the rectum

∙ 13y agobranches of abdominal aorta are classified into three.
these are : ventral branches, dorsal branches and lateral branches.
ventral branch consists of : coeliac artery (at T12 vertebral level ).
superior mesenteric artery(at L1 level).
inferior mesenteric artery(at L3 level).
dorsal branch consists of : right and left lumbar arteries.
median sacral artery.
lateral branches consists : right and left inferior phrenic arteries.
right and left suprarenal arteries.
right and left renal arteries.
right and left gonadal arterries.
terminal branches are right and left common illiac arteries.

The major artery from which all systemic arteries branch off?
Aorta
What large artery do these arteries branch form?
Yes, larger arteries branch off into smaller arteries known as arterioles.
Is there an ileum artery?
No, but there is are two common iliac arteries (branches of the abdominal aorta). The common iliac arteries then divide into internal and external iliac arteries.
What is the first arteries to branch off from the aorta?
Well um.... there are a few more than just one I'll list them all.... coronary Arteries; the brachiocephalic artery; left common carotid artery; left subclavian artery; oesophageal artery; right and left bronchial artery; mediastinal artery; poterior intercostal arteries; subcostal arteries; inferior phrenic artery, celiac trunk artery, middle suprarenal artery; superior mesenteric artery; renal artery; 1st through 4th lumbar arteries; and finally the artery bifurcates.
The first major branch off the aorta below the diaphragm is the?
coeliac artery
What is the first arteries to branch off the aorta?
systemic aorta
What 2 coronary arteries branch off the aorta?
Two major coronary arteries branch off from the aorta near the point where the aorta and the left ventricle meet
The main systemic arteries branch off of the?
Aorta
The major artery from which all systemic arteries branch off?
Aorta
What large artery do these arteries branch form?
Yes, larger arteries branch off into smaller arteries known as arterioles.
Why is the aorta important?
It is the main artery from the left ventricle of the heart from which all other arteries branch off of.
What two arteries are linked directly to the heart?
The aorta and the one to the lungs called the pulmonary arteries. However, the pulmonary first branch off of the pulmonary trunk.
Is there an ileum artery?
No, but there is are two common iliac arteries (branches of the abdominal aorta). The common iliac arteries then divide into internal and external iliac arteries.
What is the first vessels that branch off aorta?
The first vessels that branch off the aorta are called the coronary arteries. These arteries are so important for the heart muscle to work properly that they are the first off the aorta.These arteries give blood to the heart muscle itself. These arteries are also called coronary arteries because they form a crown around the top of the heart with the arteries forming an upside down crown.
Where does renal artery come from?
Renal arteries branch off the abdominal aorta.
Do the renal arteries branch off the abdominal aorta to carry blood to the kidneys?
true
Artery that sipplies blood to the lungs are what?
The bronchial arteries supply oxygenated blood to the lungs. The bronchial arteries branch off of the aorta, which is the main artery in the body.
