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.

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.

What does the left side and right side of the heart do?

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.
