Arch of the aorta
|
Begins at the level of the upper border of the second sternocostal articulations, runs at first upward, backward, and to the left. It then proceeds downward and becomes the thoracic aorta.
|
|
|
Brachiocephalic
|
The branch that only appears on the right side of the aortic arch.
|
|
|
Subclavian
|
Two branches off the aortic arch (or right Brachiocephalic) that lie below the clavicles and feed the upper extremities w/ blood.
|
|
|
Thyrocervical trunk

|
|
Transverse cervical a. of the Thyrocervical trunk (deep branch)
|
"[deep branch is named dorsal scapular artery if it arises independently from the subclavian a.]

|
Suprascapular a. of the Thyrocervical trunk
|
Anastomoses- circumflex scapular, deep transverse cervical

|
|
|
Subscapular a. of the Axillary a.
|
Supplies blood to the Subscapularis muscle.
|
|
|
