Which arteries originates as the first branch of the subclavian artery?
The first branch of the subclavian artery is the vertebral artery. It arises from the posterior aspect of the subclavian artery and ascends through the cervical vertebrae to supply blood to the brain and spinal cord. Other important branches of the subclavian artery include the internal thoracic artery and the thyrocervical trunk, but these originate after the vertebral artery.
What are the consequences of having a developmentally diminutive left vertebral artery?

What is the function of the left subclavian artery?
The left subclavian artery is one of the major arteries that supply blood to the left arm and parts of the upper body. It arises from the aortic arch and provides oxygenated blood to the left shoulder, arm, and some regions of the neck and thorax.
