polski), also known as the brachiocephalic artery or brachiocephalic trunk, is a major blood vessel in the upper body. It is the first and largest artery branching from the aortic arch, and it supplies blood to the right side of the head and neck as well as the right arm.
Etymology
The term "innominate" comes from the Latin innominatus, meaning "unnamed". This is because the artery was not given a specific name when it was first discovered. The term "brachiocephalic" is derived from the Greek words brachion (meaning "arm") and kephale (meaning "head"), reflecting the areas of the body that this artery supplies.
Structure
The innominate artery typically arises from the aortic arch as a single trunk, which then divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery. However, variations in the branching pattern are not uncommon.
Function
The innominate artery plays a crucial role in the circulatory system by supplying oxygenated blood to the right side of the head, neck, and arm. It does this through its two main branches: the right common carotid artery, which supplies blood to the right side of the neck and head, and the right subclavian artery, which supplies blood to the right arm.
