The brachiocephalic trunk is a major artery that branches off from the aortic arch, supplying blood to the right arm, head, and neck. It is only present on the right side of the body because the left subclavian and left common carotid arteries branch directly off the aortic arch, eliminating the need for a separate brachiocephalic trunk on the left side.
