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 Aorta
  • The 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.

Blood travels from the aortic arch through the left subclavian artery, which branches off the arch.

Finally, the brachial artery branches into the radial and ulnar arteries, supplying blood to the left arm.
