It transports oxgenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body via arteries branching away from the aorta. In its course the aorta descends through the abdomen to split up into the common iliac arteries. The part travelling through the chest is called thoracic, or descending aorta. This segment lies above the diaphragm within the thoracic cavity. In this tutorial we will explore the anatomy of the thoracic aorta and tell you about its arterial branches. The branches of the thoracic aorta run to various organs (esophagus, lungs, adrenal glands) and tissues (pericardium, diaphragm, abdominal wall muscles, posterior intercostal spaces) in order to supply them with blood. 0:23 introduction to the thoracic aorta 0:43 overview of the aorta 1:24 location and topography of the thoracic aorta 1:50 branches of the thoracic aorta Want to test your knowledge on the cardiovascular system?
