Detailed explanation-1: -Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Like all other tissues in the body, the heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood to function.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your coronary arteries are around and inside your heart muscle. They branch off your aorta, which is the main artery in your body. They start at the aortic root, which is the first part of your aorta that emerges from the left ventricle of your heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two primary coronary arteries, the right coronary artery (RCA) and the left main coronary artery (LMCA). Both of these originate from the root of the aorta. The RCA emerges from the anterior ascending aorta and supplies blood primarily to the right atrium, right ventricle.
Detailed explanation-4: -They branch off of the aorta at its base. The right coronary artery, the left main coronary, the left anterior descending, and the left circumflex artery, are the four major coronary arteries.
Detailed explanation-5: -The coronary arteries consist of two main arteries: the right and left coronary arteries, and their two branches, the circumflex artery and the left anterior descending artery.
