Full article >>>The
aorta is the root systemic artery. It receives blood directly from the
left ventricle of the
heart via the aortic valve. As the
aorta branches, and these
arteries branch in turn, they become successively smaller in diameter, down to the arteriole.

dorsal blood vessel of an insect.
Arthropod: Any of the invertebrate
animals (such as insects, spiders, or
crustaceans) having an
exoskeleton, a
segmented body and jointed limbs.

human circulatory system that receives blood from the
left ventricle.
appendix: a small fingerlike process that may be a vestige of larger
organs functional in
human ancestors.
Full article >>>aorta The major artery of vertebrate systemic blood circulation. It carries
oxygenated blood from the
left ventricle of the
heart around the trunk, giving rise to several branches to individual body
organs.
Full article >>>aorta The artery that carries blood from the
left ventricle for distribution throughout the
tissues of the body. The largest diameter and thickest walled artery in the body.

Full article >>>Blood from the
aorta passes into a branching system of
arteries that lead to all parts of the body. It then flows into a system of
capillaries where its exchange functions take place.
Full article >>>Many other such allometric scaling laws are known which relate lengths (such as the
radius of the
aorta,
genome size) and time-
scales (
heart-rate, lifespan, re
action rates) to mass.
Full article >>>The anterior chamber of the early
embryo's
heart which functions to connect the
ventricle to the
ventral aorta. Synonyms: bulbus cordis, conus arteriosus, truncus arteriosus.

Marfan syndrome may be tall, thin, have
long legs, arms and fingers, and may be nearsighted. Their connective
tissue is defective. If unrepaired, the connective
tissue surrounding the
aorta will eventually rupture and kill ...
