Question

The aorta is the most muscular and largest artery in the circulatory system. Its structure is directly related to its function of _____. A delivering a large volume of blood to the right and left lungs B delivering a large volume of high-pressure blood to the body C receiving large quantities of oxygen gas to be mixed with deoxygenated blood D receiving all of the deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation

Answer 1

Answer: The correct choice is B.

Explanation:

The aorta is the main artery that carries blood away from your heart to the rest of your body. After the blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, it travels through the aorta, making a cane-shaped curve that connects with other major arteries to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain, muscles, and other cells.
