Crucial artery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aorta

'crucial artery' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aorta that I've seen before include "vital transporter" , "Main arterial vessel, carrying blood to the heart" , "Main artery of body" , "Bloody channel" , "Main human artery" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
