the left ventricle pushes blood to the whole body from first the ascending aorta then into the descending aorta... it sounds confusing but its different names for the same structure. The aorta leaves the L vent. and arches upwards then travels downwards towards the hips, then bifurcates (splits) to the legs.

How much blood from the aorta passes into the ventricles before the atria contract?
lots :)
What vessel does oxygenated blood leave the heart?
Oxygenated blood enters the heart in the pulmonary vein. It passes through the left ventricle, before exiting in the aorta.
What is the main artery leading from the heart called?
The aorta is the largest artery in the body and consequently is the largest leaving the heart. The other artery to leave the heart is the pulmonary artery (incidentally the only artery that doesn't carry oxygenated blood).
Which aorta pump blood to left ventricle ascending aorta or descending aorta?
Blood goes in this order... Right Atrium -> Right Ventricle -> Lungs -> Left Atrium -> Left Ventricle -> Ascending Aorta -> Descending Aorta. So neither pump blood to the the Left Ventricle but the Left Ventricle pumps blood to the ascending aorta.
What organs are supplied by the aorta?
The aorta supplies blood to the heart.
Blood leaving the heart for the body passes through a large blood vessel known as the what?
The large blood vessel is called the aorta.
How much blood from the aorta passes into the ventricles before the atria contract?
lots :)
What vessel does oxygenated blood leave the heart?
Oxygenated blood enters the heart in the pulmonary vein. It passes through the left ventricle, before exiting in the aorta.
Function left atrium?
It receives and passes oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood (from lungs) into the left ventricle which passes into the aorta and then throughout the body.
What blood vessel supplies the descending aorta with blood?
blood travels from the ascending aorta to the aortic arch to the descending aorta
The number of valves thorugh which blood leaves the heart?
2 valves: pulmonary valve- blood leaving from the right ventricle passes through it towards the lungs; aortic valve- blood leaving from the left ventricle passes through it to the body (by way of the aorta)
What is the aorta's job?
The aorta's job is to circulate oxygenated blood to the rest of the circulatory system. It is one of the main artery's within the body and it passes from the left ventricle of the heart and goes down to the backbone area.
What do aorta veins do?
The aorta is the largest artery in the body. An artery transports blood away from the heart, whereas a vein transports blood toward the heart. The aorta begins at the left ventricle of the heart, and nearly all the blood pumped by the heart passes through it. The aorta is about as thick as a garden hose. The aorta loops over the heart before moving downward through the trunk of the body, in a "candy cane" shape. Many other arteries branch off from the aorta to supply blood to all the parts of the body.
What is the main artery leading from the heart called?
The aorta is the largest artery in the body and consequently is the largest leaving the heart. The other artery to leave the heart is the pulmonary artery (incidentally the only artery that doesn't carry oxygenated blood).
What is the main artery of the heart?
The aorta is the largest; it takes oxygenate blood from the heart to the body. There is also the pulmonary artery, that takes deoxygenated blood from the heart through the lungs. This blood then returns to the heart through the pulmonary vein, passes through the left ventricle, the left atrium, and finally out the aorta!
From what blood vessel does the descending aorta get blood?
If you are talking about where does the blood inside the descending aorta come from, it comes from the aortic arch, which comes from the ascending aorta. If you are talking about the blood that nourishes the tissues of the aorta, it is the vasa vasorum.
Which aorta pump blood to left ventricle ascending aorta or descending aorta?
Blood goes in this order... Right Atrium -> Right Ventricle -> Lungs -> Left Atrium -> Left Ventricle -> Ascending Aorta -> Descending Aorta. So neither pump blood to the the Left Ventricle but the Left Ventricle pumps blood to the ascending aorta.
