Aorta
The
aorta
is the main
artery
in the
human body
, originating from the
left ventricle
of the
heart
and extending down to the
abdomen
, where it
splits
into two smaller arteries (the
common iliac arteries
). The aorta distributes
oxygenated
blood to all parts of the body through the
systemic circulation
.
