Heart to Brachial Artery

From the left ventricle, the blood clot flows through the aortic valve into the aortic arch. From the aortic arch, the blood clot flows into the brachiocephalic artery where it splits into the right subclavian artery and right common carotid artery. Following the right subclavian artery, the subclavian artery runs along the first rib laterally until it is under the clavicle. Once the right subclavian artery reaches the clavicle it is known as the axillary artery. The axillary artery continues down to the arm and is known as the brachial artery.
