The abdominal aorta is the largest artery of the abdominal cavity. \u00a0The aorta originates at the heart, forms and arch and then continues as the descending aorta. \u00a0 \u00a0Above the diaphragm, it is called the thoracic aorta; below the diaphragm, it is called the abdominal aorta. \u00a0There are many smaller arteries that branch from the aorta and supply blood to the upper and lower extremities. \u00a0The model below shows the branches of the aorta in the abdomen and the larger vessels that supply blood to the intestines and legs. \u00a0 Just under the diaphragm, the celiac trunk supplies blood to the stomach, liver, and spleen. \u00a0 Next, the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries supply blood to the intestines.<\/p>\n

The aorta has two large branches that deliver blood to the kidney, known as the renal arteries.<\/p>\n

The aorta eventually splits into the left and right common iliac arteries. \u00a0Those arteries split again to form the internal and external iliac arteries. \u00a0The external iliac will continue into the leg and become the femoral artery.<\/p>\n
