definitely that would be the parts in the upper portion of the body, in particular the brain. the rest of the aorta goes down the thoracic and the abdominal region to supply the areas in thos parts.

How does coarctation of the aorta impact blood pressure?

Parts of the body supplied by arteries that branch off the aortic arch before the narrowing have high blood pressure, while most of the lower body does not receive enough blood supply. To compensate, the heart works harder, and the blood pressure rises


The aortic arch is closer to the base or the apex of the heart?

The aortic arch is closer to the base of the heart. It is a curved blood vessel that arises from the heart's left ventricle and ascends before arching over the heart's root, giving rise to branches that supply various parts of the body.


What is the function of the dorsal blood vessel?

This artery is called the dorsal aorta and it is a main artery leading from the heart. It divides and branches out to smaller arteries that ensure that all of the body is supplied with oxygen.


What is the blood supply for internal capsule?

anterior part of anterior limb = supplied by anterior cerebral arteryposterior part of anterior limb + genu + posterior limb = supplied by middle cerebral arteryretrolentiform + sublentiform parts = supplied by anterior choroidal artery


What is the function of a aortic arch?

High proportion of elastin in the tunica media, and large amount of collagen in the tunica advetitia. Allows the Aortic arch to stretch during systole, and the elastic recoil allows it to propel blood during diastole, thus a continual supply of blood is given to the tissue, i.e. acts as a pressure resevoire.


What does the word aortic mean?

Aortic, referring to the Aorta. The Aorta is the largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart and bringing oxygenated blood to all parts of the body in the systemic circulation.


Which side of the heart receives oxygenated blood?

The right side. After the blood has been oxygenized from the lungs, it passes through to the aortic valve to go to other parts of the body.


What are aortic arches function?

Aortic arches are blood vessels that serve to carry oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of the body. They also help to regulate blood pressure and distribute blood efficiently to the organs. Additionally, aortic arches play a role in maintaining circulation and ensuring proper nutrient and oxygen delivery to tissues.


What is the three ways how the blood flow?

blood flows away from the heart, through the arteries,to the other parts of the body.it travels towards the heart from the other parts of the body by veins and finally blood is supplied to the organs by the capillaries.


Where do the aortic aoritic arches pump blood to?

No. The aorta is an artery and pumps no blood. The left ventricle of the heart, however, pumps blood through the aorta to the entire body except the lungs, which are supplied with blood through the pulmonary vein. (Yes! Not the pulmonary artery as you might suppose.)


What is the pathway of the blood through the parts of the earthworm's ciruclatory system?

Earthworms intake oxygen through their skin into the blood of their dorsal vessel. The dorsal vessel carries the oxygenated blood towards the aortic arches in the front of the worm. The aortic arches serve as the worm's heart, pumping blood through the ventral vessel toward the rear of the worm. Smaller vessels carry the blood from the ventral vein to the tissues and back to the dorsal vein.


What is the difference between the ascending aorta and the thoracic aorta?

The ascending aorta extends from the aortic root (which connects the aorta to the heart), upwards toward the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is one of two parts of the descending aorta, which extends back down towards the abdomen after the aortic arch. The thoracic aorta is the part of the descending aorta that is above the diaphragm, while the abdominal aorta is below the diaphragm.
