The aorta carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. It is the largest artery in the body and serves as the main conduit for oxygen-rich blood that has been pumped from the left ventricle. In contrast, deoxygenated blood is carried by the veins back to the heart, where it is then sent to the lungs for oxygenation.
