What is the largest artery in the body that contains oxygen rich blood?
The largest artery in the body that carries oxygen-rich blood is the aorta. It originates from the heart's left ventricle and branches out to supply oxygenated blood to the entire body.

What do you know about heart systole?
Heart systole refers to the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle contracts to pump blood out of the chambers (ventricles) into the circulatory system. This contraction leads to an increase in blood pressure within the arteries, pushing blood to the rest of the body. Systole is typically followed by diastole, the relaxation phase of the heart.
What is the harsh rushing sound made by blood passing through an artery that is narrowed?
This sound is called a bruit, and it is typically heard when there is turbulent blood flow through a narrowed artery due to conditions such as atherosclerosis or stenosis. It can be a sign of underlying cardiovascular issues and may warrant further medical evaluation.
