Yes. My boyfriend has two aortas going to his lower body, its a mutation that causes him no problem at all. He didn't know he has it until he was in his late teen when he had a scan for an unrelated reason.

Why do you only have one aorta?

Humans function fine with a single aorta, therefore, unless additional aortas increase our ability to survive and reproduce, humans will continue to have a single aorta.


Do you have two aortas in your body?

No. No doubt you r confusion lies with the fact that there is the ascending aorta and the descending aorta. This is similar to the colon in that actually it is one continuouus thing. The ascending aorta leaves the left ventricle travelling upwards but very quickly becomes the aortic arch, looping down to form the descending aorta.


Blood enters the right atrium of the heart from the?

I was diagnosed with mild left ventricular hypertrophy recently. Dr. did not seem concerned was told to keep BP under control all would be fine. Any thoughts on this it makes me very scared.Thanks?

Left Ventricular Hypertropy is usually caused by some underlying cardiovascular disease. One of these is high blood pressure but there are others. Ask the doctor if any other causes have been excluded and if whatever test you had showed healthy aortas. If the answer is not satisfactory seek another opinion...you could do this regardless. Take along the results of ECG's or whatever you have had done. Sometimes the other doctor can obtain the reports anyhow. It may be that your doctor is correct, but unless they explain properly and can show they have excluded other causes it is easy to be concerned.

You should have a diagram of the heart. Then you should talk about its purpose and the different aortas that connect to the heart. You should also have labels for the heart too.

What is blood circuit?

The blood circuit is the totalising of all the veins, aortas and capillaries in the body, through which the blood is pumped by the heart. The oxygenate blood is pumped by the heart until it reaches the capillaries where the blood switches to veins and comes back to the heart again.
