The aorta is a large, thick-walled artery that emerges from the heart, specifically from the left ventricle, and arches upward before descending through the chest and abdomen. It resembles a sturdy, curved tube, with a diameter of about one inch in adults, and it branches off into smaller arteries that supply blood to the head, arms, and lower body. The wall of the aorta is composed of three layers: the inner intima, the middle media, and the outer adventitia, which give it strength and elasticity. Its appearance can vary slightly based on the individual's anatomy and health conditions.

The aorta connects to the heart at the site of the what valve?
The valve in this area is one of the semilunar valves called the aortic valve. These valves look like 3 little cups that collapse and allow blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta (and from there it supplies a lot of your tissues and organs) when the heart pumps. After the blood moves into the aorta, the little cups expand and prevent the back-flow of blood back into the heart from the aorta.
