What is the function of the abdominal aorta?
Disease description:
Hello, doctor. I'd like to ask, what is the function of the abdominal aorta?
The abdominal aorta primarily serves three functions: first, it supplies blood required by the muscular tissues and other organs in the thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and lower body; second, it transports peripheral blood back to the atrium behind the abdominal wall; and third, it regulates blood flow to the organs within the abdominal cavity. To maintain the health of the abdominal aorta, we should actively engage in aerobic exercise, maintain a regular daily routine, eat more light and healthy foods, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, minimize extreme movements such as jumping sideways or twisting on a daily basis, and regularly monitor blood pressure, blood glucose, and other indicators.
