The aorta is located on the left side of the heart. It emerges from the left ventricle and arches over the heart before descending into the thorax and abdomen. This positioning allows the aorta to distribute oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
aorta
Aorta. In fact two arteries; aorta from left side and pulmonary artery from right side.
Aorta
the right atrium pumps to the right ventricle, then lungs, left atrium, left verntricle and aorta to the rest of the body
No, the pulmonary artery branches from the right ventricle of the heart, not the aorta. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. The aorta, on the other hand, is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the rest of the body.
Aorta
The blood that leaves the right side of the heart is passed into the pulmonary arteries. This blood is oxygenated in the lungs and passes through the pulmonary veins into the left side of the heart.
The aorta is the largest artery in the body and consequently is the largest leaving the heart. The other artery to leave the heart is the pulmonary artery (incidentally the only artery that doesn't carry oxygenated blood).
The left side of the heart supplies blood to the body through the aorta, the largest artery in the body. The right side of the heart sends blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
right atrium -> right ventricle -> pulmonary artery -> pulmonary vein -> left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta
The 'right' side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood out of the pulmonary artory to the lung capillaries to be oxygenated, which then after oxygenation travels down the pulmonary vein into the 'left' atrium to be pumped through the entire body via the aorta.
