Detailed explanation-1: -The circumflex artery is responsible for blood supply to the left atrium and the posterior-lateral aspect of the left ventricle while the LAD supplies blood to the anterior portion of the left ventricle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, there are three main coronary arteries, the right coronary artery (RCA), left circumflex artery (LCX) and left anterior descending (LAD), with the LCX and LAD arteries arising from a common stem, the left main coronary artery (LMCA).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Left Coronary Artery has two major branches; they are called the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) and the Left Circumflex (LCx) coronary arteries. The LAD supplies blood and oxygen to the anterior portion of the left ventricle. The LCx supplies blood and oxygen to the lateral portion of the left ventricle.
