Portion of the aorta in the abdomen?

There are actually more than one portion of the aorta that is in the abdominopelvic cavity. The left ventricle and thoracic aorta of the heart lead to the abdominal aorta which begins at the diaphragm. The abdominal aorta first branches into the inferior phrenic and celiac arteries, superior mesenteric and middle suprarenal arteries, renal and gonadal arteries, lumbar artery, inferior mesenteric artery, and the median sacral and common iliac arteries. From there, the artery splits to form the two common iliac arteries that carry blood to the legs.
