Summary Introduction
To review:
The two major branches that arise from the right coronary artery.
Introduction:
Coronary circulation is the shortest circulation in the body, which mainly aims at providing nourishment to the heart. The blood vessels that supply blood from the heart to its respective layers to meet its energy requirements are commonly called coronary blood vessels. They mainly include coronary arteries and coronary veins. The coronary arteries supply blood from the heart to its various parts whereas coronary vein collects blood from different regions of the heart and empties it in the atrium.
