Cardiac veins

Circulation of the heart including the blood supply to the heart itself and the sound of the heartbeat.

Human Heart: Diagram and Anatomy of the Heart Internal Anatomy of the Heart The human heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It is located in the center of the chest and is about the size of a fist. The heart is divided into four chambers: two atria and two ventricles.

Right and Left Coronary Arteries and their branches Arterial Supply of the Heart The Coronary Arteries supply both the myocardium and epicardium. They course deep to the epicardium and are normally embedded in fats. There are two coronary arteries found in the heart (the left and the right coronary arteries), which arise from the aortic sinuses at the proximal part of the ascending aorta (just superior to the aortic valve). Right Coronary Artery Arises from the right aortic sinus and runs in…

Circulation of blood through vessels present around heart muscle is called coronary circulation. Heart is continuously working, hence needs continuous supply of oxygen in its muscles: this is achieved by supplying blood through left and right coronary arteries. The arteries arise from base of main aorta as it exits from left ventricle of heart. Coronary veins or Cardiac veins drain deoxygenated blood from heart wall and return to right atrium as coronary sinus. () You can also read this…

CORONARY ARTERIES: LEFT CORONARY ARTERY ANATOMY: The LMCA arises from the upper portion of the left sinus,just below the sinotubular ridge of the aorta. The diameter of the LMCA ranges from 3-6mm. The LMCA passes behind the right ventricular outflow tract and may extend for 0-10mm. It usually then bifurcates into LAD and LCx branches LEFT ANTERIOR DESCENDING ARTERY(LAD): The LAD passes down the anterior interventricular groove towards the cardiac apex. Its major branches are Septal and…
