What does AORTAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to the aorta, the largest artery in the body, which carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart.
Aortal is used much like the more common adjective aortic to describe conditions, measurements, or structures connected with this major vessel, such as aortal pressure or aortal narrowing. Doctors reach for the term when precision about the exact artery matters, since the aorta branches into smaller arteries that supply the rest of the body. Damage or disease affecting the aortal wall can be life-threatening because of the vessel's size and central role in circulation.
