CORONARY ANATOMY
CORONARY ARTERIES
- vessels that deliver oxygen -rich blood to the myocardium
- capable of autoregulating themselves to maintain the coronary
blood flow at levels appropriate to the needs of the heart
muscle
- classified as ”end circulation”
Left coronary artery Right coronary artery
1. Left circumflex artery 1 . Atrioventricular nodal
2. Left anterior descending branch
artery 2. Right marginal artery
3. Posterior descending
artery
CARDIAC VEINS
- vessels that remove the deoxygenated blood from the heart
muscle
- most of the blood of the coronary veins returns through the
coronary sinus
1 . The great cardiac vein
2. The middle cardiac vein
3. The small cardiac vein
4. The anterior cardiac
veins
5. The smallest cardiac
veins
