### The Aorta and the Main Arteries of the Limbs

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram illustrates the human circulatory system, focusing on the aorta and the major arteries of the limbs. The arteries are highlighted in red to indicate the path of oxygenated blood flow from the heart to various parts of the body. Each significant artery is annotated with numbers for reference.

**Labeled Components:**

1. **Right Common Carotid Artery**
   - Delivers blood to the right side of the head and neck.
   
2. **Left Common Carotid Artery**
   - Supplies blood to the left side of the head and neck.
   
3. **Right Subclavian Artery**
   - Supplies blood to the right arm and parts of the brain.
   
4. **Left Subclavian Artery**
   - Provides blood to the left arm and portions of the brain.
   
5. **Arch of the Aorta**
   - The portion of the main artery that bends between the ascending and descending aorta.
   
6. **Descending (Thoracic) Aorta**
   - The part of the aorta extending downwards through the chest area.
   
7. **Right Brachial Artery**
   - The main blood supply to the arm.
   
8. **Left Brachial Artery**
   - The principal artery of the upper limb, providing oxygenated blood.
   
9. **Right Radial Artery**
   - Passes down the lateral aspect of the forearm to the wrist.
   
10. **Abdominal Aorta**
    - The part of the aorta passing through the abdomen.
    
11. **Right External Iliac Artery**
    - Supplies blood to the lower limbs.
    
12. **Left External Iliac Artery**
    - Provides arterial blood to the left lower limb.
    
13. **Right Femoral Artery**
    - The primary artery supplying oxygenated blood to the thigh.
    
14. **Left Femoral Artery**
    - Major blood vessel delivering blood to the thigh region.
    
15. **Right Ulnar Artery**
    - Runs along the forearm, providing blood to the medial aspect of the arm.
    
16. **Left Ulnar Artery**
    - Situated on the medial aspect of the forearm.
    
17. **Right Internal Iliac Artery**
    - Supplies blood to the pelvis and gluteal region.
