- Arch runs at first upward, backward, and to the left in front of the trachea
- Arch then directed backward on the left side of the trachea
- Arch finally passes downward on the left side of the body of the fourth thoracic vertebra
- Arch at the lower border of the fourth thoracic vertebral body it becomes continuous with the descending aorta
