What is considered the left and right side of the engine?

On a RWD vehicle the engine is mounted front to rear. Sitting in the driver's seat, the left side of the engine is on the left side of the car. On a FWD vehicle the engine is mounted sideways. Standing looking at the side of the engine where the transmission is connected, to your left is the left side of the engine. Normally the transmission is mounted on the driver's side of the vehicle, so the left side of the engine would be the side closest to the radiator.On a RWD vehicle the engine is mounted front to rear.

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.


Which side left or right puts the most pressure on the blood?

The left side: the ventricals.


What artery carries blood to the arms from the aortic arch?

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!
