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. Also, oxygen-depleted blood must be carried away. The coronary arteries wrap around the outside of the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -The coronary arteries are also called the epicardial arteries because they run along the outer surface of the heart on the epicardium; the main ones are the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery.
Detailed explanation-3: -Right coronary artery (RCA): The RCA supplies blood to your right atrium and right ventricle (where deoxygenated blood goes before heading to the lungs). Left main coronary artery (LMCA): The LMCA supplies blood to your left atrium and left ventricle. 09-May-2022
