closure of the heart valves

The pericardial cavity

contains a lubricating fluid called serous fluid

If cardiac muscle is deprived of its normal blood supply, damage would primarily result from

decreased delivery of oxygen

pulmonary trunk

Which one of the following blood vessels carries oxygenated blood:
