Where the subclavian arteries are, in 3D
The subclavian arteries are the arteries passing beneath the collarbones to supply the arms. The right one branches from the brachiocephalic trunk and the left straight from the aortic arch; each becomes the axillary artery past the outer edge of the first rib.
Frequently asked questions
Which body system do the subclavian arteries belong to?
The subclavian arteries belong to the cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and the blood vessels: arteries, veins and capillaries.
What else can you see alongside the subclavian arteries?
The BAHI BODY 3D model of the heart also shows the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle, tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, aortic valve, aorta, pulmonary trunk, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, brachiocephalic trunk, brachiocephalic veins and common carotid arteries.
Where is the heart?
The heart is a muscular organ in the middle of the chest, slightly to the left, between the lungs.
