What happens when the aorta becomes blocked?
You will die, point blank. You need a healthy aorta in order to carry oxygenated blood through the body. Without your aorta you would have blue blood in your ENTIRE body, and that's not healthy, nor is it safe for any human.
What does the right aorta do?
There is no such thing. If there was, I would imagine that it would do much the same thing as the aorta does, which is move blood from the heart to the other arteries which then split out into the body. In mammal development, there is a right aortic arch - six of them, and six on the left too - which develop into several major arteries.

What prevents the blood pressure in the aorta falling below 10kPa?
The elasticity of the aorta allows it to stretch and recoil, maintaining a steady pressure. Additionally, the continuous pumping action of the heart helps to maintain blood pressure in the aorta. The regulation by the autonomic nervous system and hormones like adrenaline also play a role in preventing blood pressure from falling too low.

Explain What happens to the heart and why this happens?
The heart is divided into two sides each side is divided again into two chambers the atrium upper chamber and ventricle lower chamber blood vessels veins carry blood to the heart from the rest of the body this blood carries carbon dioxide and cellular waste products the blood goes into the right atrium and then to the right ventricle where it is then pumped to the lungs to dispose of wastes and receive a fresh oxygen supply from the lungs the blood returns to the heart It returns to the left atrium and then to the left ventricle the blood is then pumped out of the heart by the left ventricle into the aorta the left ventricle is the chamber of the heart that is responsible for pumping blood to all parts of the body the aorta sends this blood to small arteries, which carry the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. information obtained from http://www.besthearthealth.com/about.HTML
