Summary Introduction
To determine:
The three main branches off of the aortic artery and also determine the areas that these branches serve.
Concept introduction:
Arteries are thick walled blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Aorta is the largest artery, which supply the oxygenated blood coming from the heart to the whole body (except the lungs).

- What is the role of the coronary arteries?arrow_forwardDr. J was performing a cardiac bypass on her 53-year-old male patient whose anterior interventricular artery was narrowed near its origin. 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.
