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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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 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).
The aortic arch is closer to the base or the apex of the heart?
The aortic arch is closer to the base of the heart. It is a curved blood vessel that arises from the heart's left ventricle and ascends before arching over the heart's root, giving rise to branches that supply various parts of the body.
What is pulmonary arch?
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.
What is tortuous aortic arch?
It is an aortic arch with an aneurysm.
The aortic arch arches to where as it emerges from the heart?
Is a right sided aortic arch normal?
What is the function of the aortic arch?

The aortic arch arches to what as it emerges from the heart?
The aortic arch arches to the left as it emerges from 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
