An aortic arch that is right sided (extremely rare defect) causes absolutely nothing wrong by itself. It can only cause problems to a child in the presence of other abnormalities. If you believe that your children or if your child, have a right aortic arch then consult with a physician incase if you have any other abnormalities as well, otherwise you should be absolutely fine if its by itself.

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.

Is the aortic arch closer to the base or apex of the heart?
The aortic arch is closer to the base of the heart.
What is the function of the pulmonary arch?
either the right or the left sixth aortic arch that in the human fetus persists on the right side as the right pulmonary artery and on the left side as the ductus arteriosus and part of the pulmonary trunk
What cavity is the aortic arch in?

What is pulmonary arch?
There is a pulmonary trunk and an aortic arch in the heart.

What does the brachiocephalic artery do?

What is the third vessel that arises from aortic arch?
The arch of the aorta has three large arteries arising from it: the brachiocephalic, the left common carotid and the left subclavian. The brachiocephalic divides into the right common carotid and the right subclavian.
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 is the branch of the aortic arch?
left subclavian artery
