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.
Why can you feel your heart beat when you exercise?
Its because you have a thin frame, I have it too. But if you find it strange, go to your doctor, there is possibility that you may have dilation of the major aorta. === ===
Is 35 too young to have a heart attack?
No, 35 is not too young to have a heart attack.
What happens when the heart contracts?
The heart is just a muscle that pumps blood through the body. When the heart contracts it is pushing the blood around your body. There is a nice, though not too in depth, video on the NOVA website: See the Related Link.
