Blood8
When you eat, your heart pumps extra blood to your stomach and small intestine through your aorta. (onteenstoday.com)
These layers allow the aorta to absorb the force of the blood as it is pumped from the heart to the rest of the body. (cedars-sinai.org)
This means there's more blood being pumped with each heartbeat, which can make the pulse in your abdominal aorta more noticeable. (onteenstoday.com)
As the left ventricle ejects blood into the aorta, the aortic pressure increases. (onteenstoday.com)
Because the aorta is compliant, as blood is ejected into the aorta, the walls of the aorta expand to accommodate the increase in blood volume. (onteenstoday.com)
This elasticity enables the aorta to distend enough to accommodate the blood that surges through it as the heart contracts. (microscopyu.com)
