After originating from LV (about 3 cm in diameter ), it
ascending for a short distance, arches backward and to
the left side, descends within the thorax on the left
side of the vertebral column
Portions of aorta
Ascending aorta
Arch of the aorta and
Descending aorta (thoracic and abdominal aorta)
Ascending Aorta (Aorta Ascendens)





About 5 cm. in length
Passes obliquely upward, forward, and to the right, as high as the
upper border of the second right costal cartilage
At its origin, three small dilatations called the aortic sinuses
At the union of the ascending aorta with the aortic arch, the
caliber of the vessel is increased, owing to a bulging of its right
wall. This dilatation is termed the bulb of the aorta
Only branches of the ascending aorta are the two coronary
arteries
Arch of the Aorta



Begins at the level of the upper border of the Rt 2nd
sternocostal joint
First runs upward, backward, and to the left, infront of
the trachea, then directed backward on the left side of
the trachea and finally passes downward on the left side
of the body of T4, at lower border of which it becomes
continuous with the descending aorta
Forms two curvatures: one with its convexity upward,
the other with its convexity forward and to the left

Innominate Artery




Largest branch of arch of the aorta
4 to 5 cm. in length
Arises, on a level with the upper border of the
second right costal cartilage
Ascends obliquely upward, backward, and to the
right to the level of the upper border of the right
sternoclavicular articulation, where it divides
into the right common carotid and right
subclavian arteries.


2 in number (Rt & Lt)
Differ in length and mode of origin
The right begins at bifurcation of innominate A, behind
sternoclavicular joint and is confined to the neck.
The left springs from the highest part of arch of the
aorta to the left of, on a plane posterior to the
innominate artery
Each vessel passes obliquely upward
Divides into the ECA & ICA, at the level of upper
border of the thyroid cartilage
The Subclavian Artery

Axillary Artery



Commences at the outer border of the first rib
Ends at lower border of the tendon of the Teres

At its origin the artery is very deeply situated,
but near its termination is superficial

Brachial Artery




Commences at the lower margin of the tendon of the
Teres major
Passing down the arm
Ends about 1 cm. below the bend of the elbow, where
it divides into the radial and ulnar arteries
Course; At first the brachial artery lies medial to the
humerus; as it runs down the arm it gradually gets in
front of the bone, and at the bend of the elbow it lies
midway between its two epicondyles
Radial Artery





Continuation of the brachial
Smaller in caliber than ulnar.
Commences at bifurcation of the brachial, just below
the bend of the elbow
Passes along the radial side of the forearm to the wrist
Then winds backward, around the lateral side of the
carpus, forward toward thumb and index finger into the
palm of the hand and unite with the deep volar branch
of the ulnar artery to form the deep volar arch
Ulnar Artery




Larger than radial A.
Begins a little below the bend of the elbow
Passing obliquely downward, reaches ulnar side of the
forearm, midway between the elbow and the wrist. It
then runs along the ulnar border to the wrist
Immediately beyond pisiform bone, it divides into two
branches, which enter into the formation of the
superficial and deep volar arches
