The two arteries, right and left, which arise from the ascending aorta, curve down over the top of the heart and then branch out over the surface of the heart. The right coronary artery (RCA) supplies most of the right ventricle, while the left coronary artery (LCA) supplies most of the left ventricle. These arteries supply the working heart muscle with oxygen. Blockage of an artery or one (or more) of its branches may lead to the heart being starved of oxygen, causing a myocardial infarction.
The blood vessels encircling the heart that provide the heart muscle with oxygen.
vessels through which the blood passes away from the heart to the various parts of the body.
Arteries arising from the aorta the that branch off and provide blood to the muscle.
These are the arteries which feed blood to the heart muscle (Myocardium) itself. It is these vessels which become blocked, which cause a heart attack.
These are part of the plumbing system of the heart. They carry blood and oxygen to the heart muscle.
Small arteries that feed the muscle of the heart. Even though the heart is pumping large amounts of blood through its chambers, it depends on the small coronary arteries to provide nutrients and oxygen to the muscle cells.
Blood vessels immediately outside the heart that feed this vital organ oxygen-filled blood.
the arteries that take oxygen-carrying blood to the heart muscle.
The coronary arteries are special blood vessels that supply the heart with necessary oxygen and nutrients. The heart does not function properly without enough oxygen.
The coronary arteries are the arteries on the surface of the heart that provide blood flow to the heart muscle itself. .
The vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood rich in oxygen. They are called the coronary arteries because they encircle the heart in the manner of a crown. The word "coronary" comes from the Latin "corona" and Greek "koron" meaning crown. Like other arteries, the coronaries may be subject to arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). There are a number of coronary arteries. Those most often bypassed today include the right coronary artery, the posterior descending coronary artery, the left main coronary artery, the left anterior descending coronary artery and the left circumflex coronary artery. Plaques obstructing the coronary arteries may also be treated by balloon angioplasty , stents, and other techniques. See the entire definition of Coronary arteries
The arteries that surround the heart and supply blood containing oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.
The arteries (blood vessels) that supply blood to the heart
Arteries arising from the aorta, circling the surface of the heart, and conducting blood to the heart muscle.
The arteries that branch off from the aorta and supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
The blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle.
arteries that come from the aorta to provide blood to the heart muscle.
Arteries that supply oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the tissues of the heart itself.
Arteries that supply the heart's muscle fibers with nutrients and oxygen.
Blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. If these vessels become blocked, the heart muscle will not receive an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients.
The arteries supplying blood to the heart.
The blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the aorta to the heart muscle. There are three major coronary arteries: the right coronary artery, the left anterior descending artery, and the circumflex artery.
Vessels that supply blood to the heart directly from the aorta.
the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood. When they are narrowed or blocked, blood and oxygen cannot flow freely to the heart muscle or myocardium.
vessels supplying blood to the heart's muscles; name comes from corona, Latin for crown
arteries supplying blood to the muscular walls of the heart
The arteries which originate from the root of the ascending aorta and supply the cardiac musckle of the atria and ventricles with blood. image
Special arteries which supply the heart muscle itself with blood
two arteries arising from the aorta that arch down over the top of the heart, branch out and provide blood to the working heart muscle.
(kOr-o-nAr-E ar-ter-Es) The arteries that supply freshly oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.
The blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood.
blood vessels that supply blood directly to the heart muscle.
The vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle. There are two coronary arteries that originate behind two of the three leaflets of the aortic valve.
Arteries which supply blood to the heart muscle.
The blood vessels that encircle the heart and bring it necessary nutrients and oxygen. Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery An operation in which a blood vessel from the chest or the leg is reattached above and below the area of blockage in a coronary artery.
two arteries arising from the aorta that arch down over the top of the heart and divide into two branches. They provide blood to the heart muscle.
Four major coronary arteries carry freshly oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. Known as: Left main coronary artery, Circumflex coronary artery, Left anterior descending coronary artery, and Right coronary artery. Can be seen on the exterior of the heart. Most commonly blocked arteries of the heart due to plaque, lipids, and blood clots.
The two main arteries and related blood vessels that nourish the heart muscle.
The first branches off the ascending aorta, which feed fresh blood to the muscle of the heart.
The arteries of the heart. Blood flows into the coronary arteries during diastole.
Arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle itself.
