* then directed backward on the left side of the trachea
* finally passes downward on the left side of the body of the fourth thoracic vertebra
* at the lower border of the fourth thoracic vertebral body it becomes continuous with the descending aorta
* arch upper border is about 2.5 cm. below the superior border to the manubrium sterni

Forms two curvatures:
# convexity upward
# convexity forward and to the left
