How about a diagram? |

Should "sinus" replace "root" in the following passage? "The initial part of the aorta, the ascending aorta, rises out of the left ventricle, from which it is separated by the aortic valve. The two coronary arteries of the heart arise from the aortic root, just above the cusps of the aortic valve." |

== Expansion? == |
|||
I'm no [[Quincy, M.E.]], but shouldn't this article be rather larger than it currently is? Could someone who knows the correct syntax add the expansion or stub tag as they think necessary? Thanks. |

I removed this section because this is the only point it had and it just seemed out of place. |
|||
* On the Canadian television show, Degrassi: The Next Generation, a main character, JT Yorke's aorta was punctured from a stab wound resulting in death. |

|||
I am so glad you removed the section. It was highly inappropriate. Oh and referring to your comment, yes, puncturing of the aorta will automatically lead to death. The aorta is the control of blood in the body and if you puncture it blood flow stops and it results to death. |
|||
Also, the aorta stub needed just a little more. People die from trauma to the aorta. The Aorta is a very important function to the body and I think it would be best if you added just a little bit more, because with just a little more info. we would be able to find out about how to stop fast-acting, some slow, diseases that are killing many americans, latinos, mexicans, etc. |

== Stupid Evolution == |

...I hate you, natural selection. Sure, you humor us with a thick protective dome over our wonderful brains - but what about the damn aorta!? What, is my Goddamn STERNUM supposed to be my MVP here? Are you fucking ME? i want you to......... |
|||
You know how many people get killed due to trauma to the aorta? It's our own damn thermal exhaust port, just waiting to be exploited by some homicidal rebel scum. We need to get behind doing some serious genetic engineering, so we can start wrapping-up stuff like this in some sort of internal carapace - all safe & sound. |

== Lay-out == |
||
I added some data to the infobox, and adapted it to the format in use by wikiproject anatomy. This made it a lot larger, so I moved some images to the left and took out the cross-sectional image and the image of blood flow in the heart, as I think neither are particularly relevant to this article. The first one is better suited for use in the article on the human abdomen, or the more specific abdominal aorta article (another option is to expand this article by merging the subdivisions of the aorta into this article). The second one should be used in an article on the human heart, not one on an artery. [[User:Elennaro|Elennaro]] ([[User talk:Elennaro|talk]]) 15:20, 26 April 2012 (UTC) |

This is a good stub, but it needs expansion. May I suggest Embryology and Development, Physiology and Biomechanics, and Diseases expanded. Regards. [[User:GetAgrippa|GetAgrippa]] 00:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC) |

== Largest Artery? == |
|||
How about adding a little more description? I'm a 12 year old 6th grader and we're studying the Circulatory system and I understand all of it but from my point of view I think we should add a little bit more.--Ashton, 12, TX |

It is in the text. It says the Aorta is the largest artery of the human body. This fact is that the Anterior Spinal Artery is the longest artery in the body. it goes from the foramen magnun all the way down to the medullary cone. this is written in the UpToDate website, and they quote this article: Hurst RW. Spinal vascular disorders. In: Resonance Imaging of the Brain and Spine, 2nd, Atlas SW (Ed), Lippincott, Philadelphia 2006. p.1387 |
|||
Perhaps we should name the aorta the widest, or perhaps the highest blood output, but largest is a synonym of longest, and the longest artery is the Anterior Spinal artery. |

You know, you really shouldn't be using Wikipedia as your sole source of information. Although it is a good place to start from, the fact that anyone can edit it means that if someone makes subtle changes (making WWII a couple of days longer or shorter) and you then take that as gospel in a project, it really doesn't look good.

Pigs versus fingers.
[edit]Here a couple of human fingers together with the heart from a pig.
Perhaps not the best one here either, in my opinion.
