The blood leaves the heart through the pumping action of the left ventricle. It moves up thru the aorta, which sends the blood to the heart via the coronary artery, up to the head via the two carotid arteries, and to the body via the dorsal aorta. The dorsal aorta has a branch called the left subclavian that takes the blood to the left arm. The dorsal aorta sends branches into each kidney (renal arteries) and then branches into the right and left iliac arteries which enter each leg.

Blood leaves the heart from the left ventricle through the main artery which is the aorta. Large arteries branch off from the aorta to major body parts - the head, the arms, etc. Branching continues into smaller arteries, arterioles, and finally capillaries which supply all the cells with their needs and carry away wastes.
