Which of the Following Arteries is Not a Trunk

Question

Which of the following arteries is not a trunk?
A) brachiocephalic
B) carotid
C) celiac
D) pulmonary
E) thyrocervical

Accepted Answer

The carotid artery is not referred to as a "trunk." The term "trunk" is typically used for arteries that branch into multiple other arteries, such as the brachiocephalic trunk, celiac trunk, and pulmonary trunk. The thyrocervical trunk is also a trunk, but the carotid artery is not.
