The only branches of ascending aorta are the coronary arteries.
The three branches mentioned are not from ascending aorta but are from the arch of aorta which is a continuation of the ascending aorta.
The 3 branches are:
1. Brachicephalic trunk ( Innominate artery )
2. Left Common carotid
3. Left subclavian
This is a perennial trick question in Anatomy class. The first branches of the aorta (technically, the ascending aorta) are the right & left coronary arteries, which supply the heart.
Many anatomy students spend so much effort learning the asymmetry of the aortic arch branches, and will misread the question. Here, this question's phrase "aorta at its base" actually provides a clue; without that, it's more misleading.
The first branch to leave the aortic arch is the brachiocephalic artery (a/k/a innominate artery). This branch splits into two major arteries: the right subclavian artery (which soon splits into arteries that supply the right neck and thorax) and the right common carotid artery (which supplies the right side of head and neck).
The next artery to stem from the aortic arch is the left common carotid artery (which supplies the right side of head and neck, though it basically supplies different muscles) and the left subclavian artery.
to the veins and then on to the rest of the body
The left and right coronary arteries.
A tortuous thoracic aorta is an aorta that is twisted or misshapen in some people. This can lead to discomfort in some people, but no effects at all in others.
The aorta is the largest artery in your body and is connected directly to the heart and it also carries the blood to the rest of your body and disperses the blood to the branches of other arteries extended off the aorta.

A tortuous thoracic aorta is an aorta that is twisted or misshapen in some people. This can lead to discomfort in some people, but no effects at all in others.
Dorsal aorta carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the tissues, while the ventral aorta carries impure blood (rich in carbon dioxide) from the heart to the lungs.
The renal arteries.
Pulmonary artery Aorta
Tortuous aorta is a pathological condition where the aorta has an irregular shape, usually contorted, and can affect blood flow coming out of the heart and to the body tissues.
The aorta itself does not lead to a specific chamber of the heart. Upon the final stages of the contraction of the heart, blood that is present within the left ventricle of the heart is pumped out of the left ventricle, and is pushed into the aorta, which is the largest artery in the human body. The aorta itself gives rise to all of the other arteries of the body.
The aorta is the largest artery in your body and is connected directly to the heart and it also carries the blood to the rest of your body and disperses the blood to the branches of other arteries extended off the aorta.
There are actually more than one portion of the aorta that is in the abdominopelvic cavity. The left ventricle and thoracic aorta of the heart lead to the abdominal aorta which begins at the diaphragm. The abdominal aorta first branches into the inferior phrenic and celiac arteries, superior mesenteric and middle suprarenal arteries, renal and gonadal arteries, lumbar artery, inferior mesenteric artery, and the median sacral and common iliac arteries. From there, the artery splits to form the two common iliac arteries that carry blood to the legs.

abdominal aorta The Abdominal aorta is the longest section of the aorta, beginning at the diaphragm and spanning the abdominal cavity. The Thoracic and abdominal aorta together make up the descending aorta.
