Summary Introduction
To determine:
The three main branches of the aortic arch along with the body regions supplied by each arch.
Introduction:
The aortic arch curves and projects inferiorly as the descending thoracic aorta. It extends several branches that supply blood to the thoracic wall. This artery is called descending abdominal aorta when it extends to the aortic opening in the diaphragm.

For this procedure, she chose to use the left internal thoracic artery, leaving its origin intact and cutting its distal connection to attach it to the anterior interventricular artery just beyond the narrowed segment. This successfully restored blood flow to the anterior portion of the heart. What path does the blood take through this diverted route? Aortic arch to axillary artery to internal thoracic artery.
