brachiocephalic artery
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.

Right arm: right subclavian artery --> rt. brachial A --> rt radial or ulnar A --> palmar digital A Rt. head can be divided into brain, skull, facial structures Which is very complex As a rule, the carotid supplies all the head and neck region The internal branch supplies the brain tissue: e.g. middle cerebral artery. The vertebral branch of the subclavian a. supplies the bain as well via the basillar A. The external branch gives off 7 main branches, supplying the neck and head organs, bones EXCEPT the brain

The are two paired arteries that supply the head. You have the carotid arteries (where you take your pulse in the neck). There are also paired vertebral arteries that run up through the transverse foramen in the cervical vertebrae.
The main vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the upper limb is the subclavian artery. This artery branches off from the aortic arch in the chest and continues into the upper limb where it gives off smaller branches to provide blood supply to the arm and hand.
The vessel that gives you the pulse in your neck is the carotid artery. It is located on both sides of your neck and is commonly used to check your pulse. By gently pressing on this artery, you can feel the rhythm of your heartbeat.
The Brachial artery on the inside of the elbow is most commonly used because it can be accessed easily and compressed with a cuff. However it does depend on what method you are using. With use of sphygmomanometer (inflated cuff compresses artery) you can use the brachial or the radial (at the wrist - the same as commonly used for taking the pulse). This gives less reliable results. (Some monitors even use the digital arteries in the finger). Invasive methods in which the pressure is measured directly by passing a sensor into directly the artery are often used during surgical or invasive procedures. In such cases larger deeper seated arteries are used (eg Subclavian - behind the collarbone or femoral - in the groin) as well as the brachial or radial arteries.
The main source of arterial blood to the nose is the maxillary artery, which is a branch of the external carotid artery. The maxillary artery gives rise to the sphenopalatine artery, which supplies the nasal cavity and contributes to the rich vascular network in the nasal mucosa. Additionally, the facial artery also provides blood supply to the anterior part of the nose.
The subclavian passes below the clavicle, becoming the axillary artery. The axillary artery gives rise to the brachial artery. The brachial is the largest artery in the arm, and spits into three major branches the profunda brachii in the arm , and the radial and ulna arteries in the forearms. Other arteries include the interosseous, circumflex, and humeral nutrient arteries.
Temporal artery has twocomponents. One is a superficial temporal artery is a terminal branch of external carotid. It divides into two parts and it's pulsations can be felt on Temporal bone above the Zygomatic arch.. It divides into anterior and posterior branches. They supply the temple and scalp. Anterior branch anastomoses with the supra-orbital branch of ophthalmic artery, which is a branch of Internal carotid. It also gives the transverse facial branchsupplying the face. Deep temporal is a branch of second part of maxillary artery. It supply the temporal muscle, a muscle of mastication.
Aortic arches are blood vessels that serve to carry oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of the body. They also help to regulate blood pressure and distribute blood efficiently to the organs. Additionally, aortic arches play a role in maintaining circulation and ensuring proper nutrient and oxygen delivery to tissues.
