The brachiocephalic artery is the first major branch off of the aortic arch, it gives rise to the right internal carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.
The brachiocephalic artery is also sometimes called the brachiocephalic trunk, and may also be called the innominate artery.

Carotid arteries supply blood to brain . Blood is supplied to the entire brain by 2 pairs of arteries: the internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries. The right and left vertebral arteries come together at the base of the brain to form a single basilar artery. The basilar artery joins the blood supply of the internal carotid arteries in a ring at the base of the brain. This ring of arteries is called the circle of Willis. The circle of Willis provides a safety mechanism...if one of the arteries gets blocked, the "circle" will still provide the brain with blood.
Carotid sinus massage involves rubbing the large part of the arterial wall at the point where the common carotid artery, located in the neck, divides into its two main branches.
The first vessels that branch off the aorta are called the coronary arteries. These arteries are so important for the heart muscle to work properly that they are the first off the aorta.These arteries give blood to the heart muscle itself. These arteries are also called coronary arteries because they form a crown around the top of the heart with the arteries forming an upside down crown.
The first thing is to determine what artery provides blood to the lower right first molar. The lower teeth sit in the mandible and are supplied by branches of the The major artery in the mandible supplying the teeth is the inferior alveolar artery, which sends branches to supply the roots of each tooth (including the first molar) in the lower jaw. Next is to find the origin of the inferior alveolar artery and work backwards until we get to the ascending aorta. The inferior alveolar artery is a branch of the internal maxillary artery, which itself is a branch of the external carotid artery. The external carotid artery is a branch of the common carotid artery. So far everything has been symmetrical, so it hasn't mattered whether we specified that the artery was on the right or the left side. But the common carotid arteries behave a little differently. The right common carotid is a branch of the innominate artery, which branches from the aortic arch. The left common carotid artery branches directly from the aortic arch. Since we're concerned with the lower right first molar, we'll work backwards from the right common carotid, innominate artery, and aortic arch. The last bit is just to know that the aortic arch is an extension of the ascending aorta. With that, we're done. Now we just sew the whole thing together, artery by artery, in the reverse order: Ascending aorta -> aortic arch -> innominate artery -> right common carotid artery -> right external carotid artery -> right internal maxillary artery -> right inferior alveolar artery -> branch to lower right first molar.

The arch of the aorta has three large arteries arising from it: the brachiocephalic, the left common carotid and the left subclavian. The brachiocephalic divides into the right common carotid and the right subclavian.
The brachiocephalic artery divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.

Brachiocephalic Artery
The three main branches at the top of the aortic arch are the brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery. The brachiocephalic artery supplies blood to the right arm and the right side of the head and neck. While the left common carotid artery supplies blood to the left side of the head and neck, the left subclavian artery is responsible for blood supply to the left arm.

The subclavian arteries carry blood to the arms. The branching from the aorta on the right side of the body is as follows : Aorta- brachiocephalic- subclavian- axillary (located in your upper arm). From those, you have lots of branches. In the left side, the aortic branching is slightly different. Aorta-left subclavian (directly)-axillary The aorta has a third branch on the arch to the left common carotid, which is the reason that the left side doesn't have the brachiocephalic branch that the right side does. The brachiocephalic branch is just the right subclavian and common carotid running together before a branching point. Hope this helps!
