The aortic arch first gave the brachiocephalic trunk, a single vessel arising on the right of the aortic arch. After giving the right common carotid artery, the brachiocephalic trunk continued laterally as the right subclavian artery. The left common carotid artery originated from the aortic arch in a common trunk with the brachiocephalic trunk in 4 animals but directly from the aortic arch just beyond the brachiocephalic trunk in 2 animals. The left subclavian artery branched directly from the aortic arch and extended cranially and laterally toward to the left shoulder and arm.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle821213011303Q4WOS:000236623000020Q4
