What are the branches of the L coronary A?
Anterior interventricular a. -> diagonal a. circumflex a. (wraps posterior) -> left marginal a. -> posterior Left Ventricular A.
What vessels travel together in the Anterior interventricular groove?
anterior interventricular a. and great cardiac v.
What vessels travel together near inferior border of heart?
right marginal a. and small cardiac v.
What vessels travel together up and over the LA?
Circumflex a. and great cardiac v.
What vessels travel together in the posterior interventricular groove?
posterior interventricular a. and middle cardiac v.
What blood vessel(s) supply the Right Atrium?
atrial branch of the RCA
What blood vessel(s) supply the SA Node?

What supplies the conus arteriosus?
-conus branch of RCA or anterior interventricular branches of LCA
What supplies the right ventricle?
right marginal a.
What supplies the left ventricle?
right posterolateral a. (RCA)
posterior left ventricular a. (of circumflex of LCA)
What supplies the AV node?
atrioventricular nodal a. of RCA
What supplies the IVS?
