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!
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.
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.
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.
The brachiocephalic artery divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.
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.
aortic arch
Blood travels from the aortic arch through the left subclavian artery to reach the left arm.
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.

It carries forth blood from the heart.
it carries blood from the dorsal blood vessel to the ventrical blood cell
The right common carotid artery does not receive blood directly from the aortic arch. It branches off the brachiocephalic trunk, which comes directly from the aortic arch.
The brachiocephalic artery is a branch off of the aortic arch and send blood to the head, neck, and right arm.

negative feedback via baroreceptors in the carotid artery and 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.
