major blood vessels that enter and leave the heart
superior and inferior vena cava
- carry blood from the body to the right atrium,
major branch of the left coronary artery,
anterior interventricular artery
left marginal artery location
branches from the left coronary artery
circumflex artery
branches supply blood to much of the posterior wall of the heart.
Aorta
carries blood from the left ventricle to the body,
Pulmonary trunk-
carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
the smaller coronary sinus -
carries blood from the walls of the heart to the right atrium.
four pulmonary veins
carry blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
small cardiac vein
drains the right margin of the heart
major branch of the left coronary artery location
extends inferiorly in the anterior interventricular sulcus
what veins converge and empty into a large venous cavity called the coronary sinus,
great cardiac and small cardiac vein
coronary sinus empties where
into the right atrium
right and left coronary arteries location
lie within the coronary sulcus and interventricular sulci on the surface of the heart
Posterior interventricular artery location
lies in the posterior interventricular sulcus and
right and left coronary arteries function
major arteries supplying blood to the tissue of the heart
great cardiac vein
major vein draining the tissue on the left side of the heart
large coronary sulcus
separating the atria from the ventricles.
major branch of the left coronary artery function
supplies blood to most of the anterior part of the heart
Posterior interventricular artery, function
supplies blood to the posterior and inferior part of the heart
left marginal artery function
supply blood to the lateral wall of the left ventricle.
right marginal artery
supply blood to the lateral wall of the right ventricle.
Two arteries,- exit the heart.
the aorta and the pulmonary trunk
Anterior and posterior
the division between the right and left ventricles.
coronary sinus drains what
the heart
