APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The right and left coronary arteries supply blood to your heart. They’re the first branches off the aorta, which is the main artery in your body. These arteries and their branches supply all parts of the heart muscle with blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The coronary arteries provide the main blood supply to the heart. 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.

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: -Coronary arteries send blood to the heart muscle. All tissues in the body need oxygen-rich blood to function. The heart muscle also needs it. And oxygen-depleted blood must be carried away. The coronary arteries wrap around the outside of the heart.
