cardiovascular system-blood: coronary circulation Flashcards
coronary circulation supplies
blood to the myocardium
how many coronary arteries are there
2
what are the 2 coronary arteries
left coronary artery
right coronary artery
the left and right coronary arteries originate at the
base of the ascending aorta at the aortic sinuses
what ensures a continuous flow of blood in the coronary arteries
elevated blood pressure
elastic rebound
right coronary artery supplies the
right atrium
portions of both ventricles
portions of SA and AV node
marginal artery
posterior interventricular artery
the right coronary artery gives rise to
marginal arteries across the surface of the right ventricle and
posterior interventricular artery toward the apex within the interventricular sulcus
to supply interventricular septum and adjacent portions of the ventricle
left coronary artery supplies
blood to the
left ventricle
left atrium
interventricular septum
circumflex artery
anterior interventricular artery
at the anterior surface, the left coronary artery gives rise to
circumflex artery
anterior interventricular artery
arterial anastomoses
in the anterior interventricular artery has small tributaries connected with the posterior interventricular artery
cardiac veins supply
deoxygenated blood
how many cardiac veins are there
3
what are the 3 cardiac veins
posterior cardiac vein
middle cardiac vein
small cardiac vein
posterior cardiac vein
draining the area served by circumflex artery
(left atrium, anterior left ventricle)
middle cardiac vein
draining the area supplied by posterior interventricular artery
(posterior interventricular septum, adjacent portions of the right ventricle)
