The anatomical limits for the left common carotid artery
From the level of the second costal cartilage to the superior border of the thyroid cartilage
The anatomical limits for the left subclavian artery
Begins at the level of the second costal carilage and terminates at the lateral of 1st rib

The anatomical guide for the femoral arteries
Center of the femoral triangle bounder laterally by sartorius and medially by adductor longus
Which are true of both axillary arteries?
- They start where the subclavians end
- They start at the lateral border of the 1st rib, and end at the inferior border of teres major
- Their anatomical guide is posterior to the medial border of the coracobrachialis muscle
- They end where the brachial arteries begin
The linear guide for both carotid arteries
