The aortic arch gives out three arteries viz. __________.
- Ainnominate, right common carotid and left subclavian
- Correct answerBbrachiocephalic, left common carotid and left subclavian
- Cbrachiocephalic, left common carotid and right subclavian
- Dinnominate, left common carotid and right subclavian
Solution
The aortic arch gives off three major branches which supply blood to the head, neck, and upper limbs.
These three branches, in order from right to left, are:
1. Brachiocephalic artery (also known as the innominate artery)
2. Left common carotid artery
3. Left subclavian artery
The brachiocephalic artery further divides into the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries.
Answer: brachiocephalic, left common carotid and left subclavian
