After being taken by ambulance to a local hospital, the medical staff recommends you undergo an angioplasty. 
In order to do this, a catheter must be threaded from your left femoral artery to your left coronary artery. Trace the path of the catheter and name all the segments of the arteries through which the catheter passes. [15 points possible]

This is the only question I'm having trouble with.

Its says from the left femoral artery to your left coronary artery trace the path of the catheter and name all the segments of the arteries through which the catheter passes. That gives the right side does that make a difference or does both ways pass through the same.

I copied the answer above but pretty much just changed it to "left" instead of "right". I hope it's right because im really not sure.
