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.
Right- Brachiocephalic artery Left- subclavian artery
Brachiocephalic Artery
The brachiocephalic trunk is the first artery to branch off from the aorta. This then bifurcates (splits into two) creating the right subclavian and right common carotid arteries
As indicated by the name, subclavian, these arteries are located beneath the clavicles. On the right, the subclavian artery arises from the brachiocephalic artery and extends to the axillary artery. The left subclavian artery arises from the aorta distal to the left carotid and extends to the axillary artery.The subclavian arteries (left and right) are branches of the aorta supplying both the left and right arms respectively.The left subclavian artery stems directly from the AortaThe right subclavian artery is a branch of the brachiocephalic artery when itbifurcates into the common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.The subclavian veins are continuations of the axillary veins. They are joined by the internal jugular veins to form both the right and left brachiocephalic veins then drain into the superior vena cava. The nerve to subclavius or subclavian nerve is a branch of the brachial plexus which arises from the junction of the fifth and sixth cervical ventral rami.

Well um.... there are a few more than just one I'll list them all.... coronary Arteries; the brachiocephalic artery; left common carotid artery; left subclavian artery; oesophageal artery; right and left bronchial artery; mediastinal artery; poterior intercostal arteries; subcostal arteries; inferior phrenic artery, celiac trunk artery, middle suprarenal artery; superior mesenteric artery; renal artery; 1st through 4th lumbar arteries; and finally the artery bifurcates.
The three branches off the aortic arch arethe brachiocephalic arteryleft common carotid Arteryleft subclavian Artery.
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 only branches of the ascending aorta are the two coronary arteries which supply the heart; they arise near the commencement of the aorta from the aortic sinuses which are opposite the aortic valve. The Right and the Left coronary arteries
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.
Yes, larger arteries branch off into smaller arteries known as arterioles.
