brachiocephalic

There is no brachiocephalic artery for the left side of the body.

The brachiocephalic artery supplies blood to the right arm, head and neck.

The right common carotid originates in the neck from the brachiocephalic trunk.

In an anastomosis by anterior cardinal veins, the left brachiocephalic vein is produced.

It drains into the left brachiocephalic vein.

However, there are two brachiocephalic veins.

The brachiocephalic veins are the major veins returning blood to the superior vena cava.

Axillary, subclavian and brachiocephalic vein obstruction.

The left and right brachiocephalic veins merge to form the superior vena cava, one of the primary pathways by which blood is returned to the heart.

The external vertebral venous plexuses travel inferiorly from this suboccipital region to drain into the brachiocephalic vein.

The internal jugular veins join with the subclavian veins more medially to form the brachiocephalic veins.

From here it joins with the internal jugular vein to form the brachiocephalic vein (also known as "innominate vein").

Kneeling in the straw I incised the skin, cut carefully through the long thin layer of the brachiocephalic muscle and held the fibres apart with retractors.

The SVC is formed by the junction of the left and right brachiocephalic veins in the mid third of the mediastinum.

These are followed by the branches off the aortic arch, namely the brachiocephalic artery, the left common carotid and the left subclavian arteries.

Brachiocephalic artery (truncus brachiocephalicus)

It drains into the systemic (blood) circulation at the left brachiocephalic vein between the left subclavian and left internal jugular veins.

In the majority of abnormal cases it arises with the brachiocephalic trunk; if that artery is absent, the two carotids arise usually by a single trunk.

He argued that the long-headed "dolichocephalic-blond" Europeans, characteristically found in northern Europe, were natural leaders, destined to rule over more "brachiocephalic" (short headed) peoples.

B - Involves the descending aorta or the arch (distal to right brachiocephalic artery origin), without involvement of the ascending aorta.

Three vessels come out of the aortic arch, the brachiocephalic artery, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery.

Bilaterally, it arises from the superior epigastric vein, accompanies the internal thoracic artery along its course and terminates in the brachiocephalic vein.

These veins receive esophageal tracheal, and inferior laryngeal veins, and are provided with valves at their terminations in the brachiocephalic veins.

The thyroidea ima artery arises from the brachiocephalic trunk and ascends in front of the trachea to the lower part of the thyroid gland, which it supplies.

The brachiocephalic artery or trunk is the first and largest artery that branches to form the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery.
