The anatomical structures of the conductance in the heart.What is the function and the physicalcharactersitics of circulation?
left coronary artery
great cardiac vein
right coronary artery circumflex branch
coronary sinus
middle cardiac vein
5% of systemic circulation is blood flowing through the coronary circulation. The
branches into the anterior interventricular
branch (which supplies both ventricles and the anterior 2/3 of the interventricular septum), and the
,which supplies the left
atrium and posterior wall of the left ventricle. The
supplies the right atrium and sinoatrial node.
Blood is returned to the right atrium through a series of cardiac veins. The
collects blood from the anterior portion of the heart
and empties into the coronary sinus. The
collects blood from the posterior portion of the heart and drains into the
A 60-year-old woman receives a coronary angiogram following a myocardial infarction in order to
evaluate the condition of her coronary circulation. Most blood draining from the heart wall
(myocardium) will return to the heart through which of the following structures?
