The aorta ( ; : aortas or aortae) is the main and largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart, branching upwards immediately after, and extending down to the abdomen, where it splits at the aortic bifurcation into two smaller arteries (the common iliac arteries). The aorta distributes oxygenated blood to all parts of the body through the systemic circulation.

common carotid artery

inferior vena cava

one of two veinous trunks which brings deoxygenated

part of the aorta between the ascending and descending aorta

subclavian artery

major arteries of the upper thorax, below the clavicle
