Name the Largest Artery in the Human Body

Answer: aorta

An aorta is a flexible and dilated vessel. Oxygenated blood is delivered to the rest of the body via the renal veins. Oxygenated blood is transported throughout the body thanks to the heart.

• The aorta, the body’s largest artery, runs from the heart to the gut and into the abdomen. 
• The ventricle of the heart pumps high-pressure, oxygenated blood directly into the aorta.

• Subdivisions grow smaller and smaller in diameter in the aorta, with many branches. Arterioles are the tiniest arteries.

• Blood vessels of the lower and upper extremities are called veins (Inferior/Superior). 
• The superior and inferior veins carry blood from the upper and lower body, respectively, to the heart’s right atrium.
