Identify the blood vessel marked in the angiogram

Brachiocephalic is the blood vessels that is marked in the angiogram. A Branchiocephalic artery is an artery of the mediastinum and it supplies blood to the right arm and to the head and neck,  it also supplies blood to the tissue of the brain.

Angiogram detects a blood vessel named as brachiocephalic.

Further Explanation:

Blood vessels named as brachiocephalic is initiate from the aortic arch. It is a mediastinum artery. It is also known as the brachiocephalic trunk and innominate artery. This is because of blood flow to this artery to the neck, head, and arm. It provides blood to the right subclavian artery and carotid artery. It is a blood vessel that has a thick wall and takes blood away from the heart.  

It is also referred to as a trunk because it is the support for the other two arteries. The length of the brachiocephalic artery is approximately four to five centimeters from the aortic arch to the point where it dived into the carotid artery and subclavian artery. The brachiocephalic artery is not present in the left region of the body. It varies in appearance and size.

Mantle convection  is the slow  creepingmotion of earth's solid silicate  mantle  caused by  convection  currents carrying  heat from the interior  to the planet's surface.[1][2]  the earth's surface  lithosphere, which rides atop the  asthenosphere  (the two components of the  upper mantle), is divided into a number of  plates  that are continuously being created and consumed at their opposite  plate boundaries. accretion occurs as mantle is added to the growing edges of a plate, associated with  seafloor spreading. this hot added material cools down by  conduction  and  convection  of heat. at the consumption edges of the plate, the material has thermally contracted to become dense, and it sinks under its own weight in the process of  subduction  usually at an  ocean trench.[3]this subducted material sinks through the earth's interior. some subducted material appears to reach the lower mantle,[4]  while in other regions, this material is impeded from sinking further, possibly due to a phase transition from  spinel  to  silicate perovskiteand  magnesiowustite, an  endothermic reaction.[5]the subducted oceanic crust triggers  volcanism, although the basic mechanisms are varied. volcanism may occur due to processes that add buoyancy to partially melted mantle causing an upward flow due to a decrease in density of the partial melt.secondary forms of convection that may result in surface volcanism are postulated to occur as a consequence of intraplate extension[6]  and  mantle plumes.[7]it is because the mantle can convect that the  tectonic plates  are able to move around the earth's surface.[8]mantle convection seems to have been much more active during the  hadean  period, resulting in gravitational sorting of heavier molten  iron, and  nickel  elements and  sulphides  in the core, and lighter  silicate minerals  in the  mantle.
