Which of the following statements concerning the branches of the aortic arch is true? The branches of the aortic arch are located in the region of T5-T12. The most common variation of the branching pattern of arteries from the aortic arch is to have four large arteries arising separately from the aortic arch. The left brachiocephalic artery supplies blood to the arm and head on the left side of the body. The brachiocephalic trunk branches into the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries.
