What is the Function of the subclavian artery and vein?
The right subclavian artery extends from the brachiocephalic artery to the right side of the body. It supplies oxygenated blood to the arms.
What is the axillary artery?
The axillary artery is a major artery of the upper limb. It continues from the subclavian artery.
Where does the subclavian artery take blood to and from?
As indicated by the name, subclavian, these arteries are located beneath the clavicles. On the right, the subclavian artery arises from the brachiocephalic artery and extends to the axillary artery. The left subclavian artery arises from the aorta distal to the left carotid and extends to the axillary artery.The subclavian arteries (left and right) are branches of the aorta supplying both the left and right arms respectively.The left subclavian artery stems directly from the AortaThe right subclavian artery is a branch of the brachiocephalic artery when itbifurcates into the common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.The subclavian veins are continuations of the axillary veins. They are joined by the internal jugular veins to form both the right and left brachiocephalic veins then drain into the superior vena cava. The nerve to subclavius or subclavian nerve is a branch of the brachial plexus which arises from the junction of the fifth and sixth cervical ventral rami.
What artery flows into right subclavian?
The brachiocephalic trunk is the first artery to branch off from the aorta. This then bifurcates (splits into two) creating the right subclavian and right common carotid arteries
What artery branches off left brachiocephalic artery?
The brachiocephalic artery divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.
Continuation of the subclavian artery inferior to clavicle?
Axillary artery
What is the main vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the upper limb?
You have the axillary artery which supply the upper limb. It is continuation of subclavian artery and continue as a brachial artery.
What is the Function of the subclavian artery and vein?
The right subclavian artery extends from the brachiocephalic artery to the right side of the body. It supplies oxygenated blood to the arms.
What are the three blood vessels that exit from the aortic arch?
Brachiocephalic trunk Left common carotid artery Left subclavian artery
What is the axillary artery?
The axillary artery is a major artery of the upper limb. It continues from the subclavian artery.
What does the subclavian vein drain?
The subclavian vein is a major vein that drains blood from the upper extremities and returns it to the heart. There are two of these veins, and like all large veins supply large amounts of blood from the body.

Where does the right subclavian artery carry blood?
The right subclavian artery carries blood to the right arm. It also carries blood to the head and the thorax.
Blood from the right subclavian artery flows into what artery?
It flows into the internsl mammary
How often is the subclavian vein involved in thoracic outlet syndrome?
The subclavian vein is involved in 40% of cases and the subclavian artery in 1% of cases.
What is the branch of the aortic arch?
left subclavian artery
Gives rise to the right common carotid and right subclavian artery?
brachiocephalic artery
