Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The innominate artery is also known as the brachiocephalic artery, as it is the first branch arising from the aortic arch and divides into the right subclavian and right common carotid arteries. Option A (aorta) is incorrect as it refers to the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Options C (left subclavian) and D (left common carotid) are also incorrect as they refer to branches of the aortic arch other than the innominate artery.
