In anatomy, arterial tree is used to refer to all arteries and/or the branching pattern of the arteries. This
article regards the human arterial tree. Starting from the aorta:

2.2 left common carotid artery (directly from arch of aorta on left mostly)
2.2.1 internal carotid artery
2.2.2 external carotid artery
2.3 Left subclavian artery (directly from arch of aorta on left)
2.3.1 vertebral artery
2.3.2 internal thoracic artery
2.3.3 thyrocervical trunk
2.3.4 costocervical trunk
2.3.5 Axillary artery
2.3.6 Brachial artery
