The subclavian arteries carry blood to the arms. The branching from the aorta on the right side of the body is as follows :
Aorta- brachiocephalic- subclavian- axillary (located in your upper arm). From those, you have lots of branches.
In the left side, the aortic branching is slightly different.
Aorta-left subclavian (directly)-axillary
The aorta has a third branch on the arch to the left common carotid, which is the reason that the left side doesn't have the brachiocephalic branch that the right side does. The brachiocephalic branch is just the right subclavian and common carotid running together before a branching point.
Hope this helps!

How can you trace a drop of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right radial artery?
Why would you want to do that. You would have to cut open the heart and watch the blood move from the pulmonary artery through the heart and into the right radial artery.
What does the cephalic artery do?
There is actually no such artery as the cephalic artery. There is the brachiocephalic artery which comes out of the aortic arch, and also a cephalic vein.
What is main artery?
The aorta. This leaves the heart (left ventricle) loops over (aortic arch) and becomes the descending aorta. Their are other arteries that branch off along the way, carotid, brachial, etc. then the aorta splits into the femoral arteries.
What artery branches off left brachiocephalic artery?
The brachiocephalic artery divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.
Is the brachiocephalic artery longer on the left side than on the right?
Trick question.... you only have 1 brachiocephalic trunk. It comes off the right side of the aortic arch (right side from anatomical position, or the patient's perspective) and immediately splits into the subclavian artery and the common carotid artery. On the left side of the arch the subclavian and common carotid branch directly off the aortic arch. Hopefully this makes sense.
What artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the body?
aortic arch
Trace blood from aortic arch to left radial artery?
From the aortic arch, blood flows through the left subclavian artery, then into the axillary artery, followed by the brachial artery. From the brachial artery, blood then reaches the radial artery in the forearm, supplying the distal part of the arm and hand with oxygenated blood.
Which pathway correctly traces blood as it travels from the aortic arch to the left arm?
Aortic arch ~>left subclavian artery ~> axillary artery ~> brachial artery ( and its profunda).
How can you trace a drop of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right radial artery?
Why would you want to do that. You would have to cut open the heart and watch the blood move from the pulmonary artery through the heart and into the right radial artery.
What does the aortic arch do on the earth worm?
It carries forth blood from the heart.
What is the function of the aortic arch?
it carries blood from the dorsal blood vessel to the ventrical blood cell
What does the brachiocephalic artery do?
The brachiocephalic artery is a branch off of the aortic arch and send blood to the head, neck, and right arm.
What is the branch of the aortic arch?
left subclavian artery
Is blood regulated by negative or positive feedback?
negative feedback via baroreceptors in the carotid artery and aortic arch
What portions of the body are supplied by blood from the branches at the top of the aortic arch?
The three main branches at the top of the aortic arch are the brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery. The brachiocephalic artery supplies blood to the right arm and the right side of the head and neck. While the left common carotid artery supplies blood to the left side of the head and neck, the left subclavian artery is responsible for blood supply to the left arm.
What are the left branch off the aortic arch?
The three branches off the aortic arch arethe brachiocephalic arteryleft common carotid Arteryleft subclavian Artery.
What is the first branch off the aortic arch?
brachiocephalic artery
