the base
There is a pulmonary trunk and an aortic arch in the heart. The pulmonary trunk sends oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle up through it to the lungs to gain oxygen and then comes back into the heart via the left atrium.The aortic arch sends out blood to the entire body from the left ventricle.
Your heart via the coronary arteries
Blood flows the fastest as it exits the heart into the Aorta.
High proportion of elastin in the tunica media, and large amount of collagen in the tunica advetitia. Allows the Aortic arch to stretch during systole, and the elastic recoil allows it to propel blood during diastole, thus a continual supply of blood is given to the tissue, i.e. acts as a pressure resevoire.
Aortic arch ~>left subclavian artery ~> axillary artery ~> brachial artery ( and its profunda).
The aortic arch is closer to the base of the heart.
Is a right sided aortic arch normal?
left
It carries forth blood from the heart.
The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart. It leaves the heart heading upwards before arching over to head downwards to the lower body. The arch is the aortic arch; we all have one.
It is an aortic arch with an aneurysm.
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.

It is an aortic arch with an aneurysm.
The Aortic Arch (Arcus Aorta) contains a high concentration of oxygenated hemoglobine, since it just came out of the left chamber of the heart which is still fresh from the pulmonairy circuit
