Transports oxygenated blood from the aortic arch to the left upper limb
QuestionChoice
The image shows a dissection of the thoracic cavity and neck. The centre of the dissection displays the aortic arch and the three vessels emerging from it. The answer describes the function of the right subclavian artery, which transports oxygenated blood from the brachiocephalic trunk to the right upper limb. However, the arrow indicates the third branch of the aortic arch – the left subclavian artery, whose function is to transport oxygenated blood from the aortic arch to the left upper limb.

QuestionChoice
The image shows a dissection of the thoracic cavity and neck. The centre of the dissection displays the aortic arch and the three vessels emerging from it. The answer describes the function of the right common carotid artery, which transports oxygenated blood from the brachiocephalic trunk to the right side of the head and neck. However, the arrow indicates the third branch of the aortic arch – the left subclavian artery, whose function is to transport oxygenated blood from the aortic arch to the left upper limb.
