The first branch of the Aortc Arch is the BRACHIOCEPHALIC ARTERY, which divides into the right common catotid artery, which transports blood to the right side of the head and neck, and the right subclavian artery, which transports blood to upper right limb. The second branch of the Aortic Arch is the left common carotid artery, which divides intothe left internal carotid artery that supplies the brain and the left external carotid artery that supplies muscles and the skin of the neck and head. the third branch of the Aortic Arch Is the Left subclavian artery, which branches in to the vertebral artery that supplies parts of the brain. In the axillary are of the body, the subclavian artey is know as the axillary artery, which continues down the arm as the brachial artery. Near the elbow joint divides into the radial and ulnar arteries, which supply the forearm.

It is an aortic arch with an aneurysm.
Is a right sided aortic arch normal?
It is an aortic arch with an aneurysm.
The aortic arch is closer to the base of the heart.
The aortic arch arches to the left as it emerges from the heart.
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.
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!
