APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The coronary arteries also supply the myocardium with oxygen to allow for the contraction of the heart and thus causing circulation of the blood throughout the body. Two main coronary arteries originate from the base of the aorta as it exits the left ventricle: the left and right coronary arteries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Where are the coronary arteries located? 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: -Myocardial oxygen demand is the amount of oxygen that the heart requires to maintain optimal function, and myocardial oxygen supply is the amount of oxygen provided to the heart by the blood which is controlled by the coronary arteries.
