Q

The coronary circulation

A

supplies the heart tissue with blood.

47
Q

What vessels comprise the coronary
circulation?

A

Vessels that deliver oxygen rich blood to
the myocardium are the coronary
arteries.
Vessels that remove deoxygenated blood
from the heart muscle are the cardiac
veins.

48
Q

Vessels that deliver oxygen rich blood to
the myocardium are the

A

coronary arteries.

49
Q

Vessels that remove deoxygenated blood
from the heart muscle are the

A

cardiac veins.

50
Q

From where do the coronary arteries
receive oxygenated blood?

A

The major arteries of the coronary
circulation arise directly from the aorta

51
Q

Where does the deoxygenated blood go
after passing through the capillary beds of
the myocardium?

A

The deoxygenated blood enters the
coronary veins, pools in the coronary
sinus then empties into the right atrium.

52
Q

What are the consequences of coronary
artery blockage?

A

Blockage leads to ischemia (substrate and
oxygen deprivation). Prolonged ischemia
can significantly damage heart tissue
resulting in myocardial infarction (heart
attack). The damage caused by the
infarction is not reversible due to the poor
regenerative capacity of cardiac muscle
tissue.
