What else can I help you with?
What is the first branch off the aortic arch?
brachiocephalic artery
What are the left branch off the aortic arch?
The three branches off the aortic arch arethe brachiocephalic arteryleft common carotid Arteryleft subclavian Artery.
Which arteries does not branch directly off the aortic arch?
The arteries that do not branch directly off the aortic arch include the subclavian arteries and the internal thoracic arteries. Instead, the subclavian arteries arise from the brachiocephalic trunk (on the right side) or directly from the arch of the aorta (on the left side). The internal thoracic arteries branch off the subclavian arteries, further indicating they do not stem directly from the aortic arch.
What is tortuous aortic arch?

What does the brachiocephalic artery do?
The brachiocephalic artery is a branch off of the aortic arch and send blood to the head, neck, and right arm.
Which does not receive blood directly from the aortic arch?
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.
Which pathway correctly traces blood as it travels from the aortic arch to the left arm?
Aortic arch ~>left subclavian artery ~> axillary artery ~> brachial artery ( and its profunda).
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.
