The direct branch of the aorta refers to the major arteries that emerge directly from the aorta and supply blood to various regions of the body. The main direct branches include the coronary arteries, which supply the heart, the brachiocephalic trunk, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery, which supply the head, neck, and upper limbs. Additionally, the ascending aorta, arch of the aorta, and descending aorta give rise to other branches that further distribute oxygenated blood throughout the body.
