Three arteries come off the Aortic Arch (from left to right) 1. Brachiocephalic Artery 2. Left Common Carotid Artery 3. Left Subclavian Artery. Then After the Aorta arches it then descends behind the heart and turns into the Descending Aorta which is then classified as either the Thoracic Descending Aorta or the Abdominal Descending Aorta.
