The aorta is the major arterial vessel that gives rise to all major arteries except those that supply the lungs. The celiac trunk supplies blood to the foregut organs (stomach, liver, pancreas, and spleen), while the pulmonary trunk only supplies blood to the lungs. The ligamentum arteriosum and precava are structures within the heart and do not give rise to major arteries.
