How many branches does the aortic arch have in cats?

The aortic arch in cats typically has three main branches: the brachiocephalic trunk, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery. The brachiocephalic trunk further divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery. This branching pattern supplies blood to the head, neck, and forelimbs.
