Reprinted courtesy of the Wilderness Society from The Living Wilderness, March 1980. In the history of American conservation, few have worked as long and as effectively to preserve wilderness and to articulate the âwilderness ideaâ as Ansel Adams.n a letter to Ansel in 1938 Stieglitz said, âIt is good for me to know that there is Ansel Adams loose somewhere in the world of ours.â Lovers of photography were not the only ones glad to have Ansel Adams loose in this world. Lovers of wilderness echoed this feeling.
The ascending aorta is the first part of the aorta, and begins at the aortic valve-located obliquely just to the left of the midline at the level of the the third intercostal space.he ascending aorta is the first part of the aorta, and begins at the aortic valve-located obliquely just to the left of the midline at the level of the the third intercostal space.
Aorta: The largest artery in the body, the aorta arises from the left ventricle of the heart, goes up (ascends) a little ways, bends over (arches), then goes down (descends) through the chest and through the abdomen to where ends by dividing into two arteries called the common iliac arteries that go to the legs.natomically, the aorta is traditionally divided into the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the descending aorta. The descending aorta is, in turn, subdivided into the thoracic aorta (that descends within the chest) and the abdominal aorta (that descends within the belly).
