Best Answer

The aorta's walls are so thick because it needs to be able to withstand high blood pressure. If they are too thin, the would burst, and your heart would stop pumping blood. A heart without blood is unable to sustain human life.

this is because, due to high thickness of left ventricle blood gets into the aorta with high pressure, and if the aortic wall is not thick, high blood pressure in aorta breaks open wall.

The pumping heart exerts high blood pressure on arteries and they need thick flexible walls.

Uneven cooling?

When the wall thickness of the injection molding parts is not uniform, the thick part of the wall cools more slowly than the thin part, so the thick part of the wall produces shrinkage holes.It is theoretically difficult to eliminate shrinkage caused by uneven wall thickness, so uniform wall thickness should be made when designing parts. That is, the focus is on reducing the variation in wall thickness.
