Where is the aorta and the esophagus located?

The aorta, the main artery in the human body, is located in the left ventricle of the heart. The aorta begins at the top of the left ventricle. The descending aorta starts after the arch of the aorta and ends by splitting into two great arteries that lead to the legs.

The esophagus, a muscular tube connecting the pharynx (throat) with the stomach, runs behind the trachea (windpipe), and heart, and in front of the backbone or spine.

The aorta is located near the heart. it is actually attached and is a major artery. the esophagus is what allows the food to travel down the throat to the stomach.
