Notes

  • It is jugular vein and carotid artery!
  • Veins are bilaterally symmetrical. They are on both sides.
  • There is only 1 brachiocephalic artery. This artery leaves the arch of the aorta and splits into the right common carotid and right subclavian artery.
  • The left common carotid artery leaves the aortic arch by itself.
  • The left subclavian artery leaves the aortic arch by itself.
  • I'm not convinced about the vertebral arteries
