Answer:

The correct answer is - Aorta or descending aorta.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main artery carries blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body and going downwards in the torso is the aorta. The blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve making a cane-shaped curve that allows other major arteries to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain, muscles, and other cells. It is known as the largest artery of the human body.

The correct answer is - Aorta or descending aorta.
