Q
The main sulci
A
The coronary sulcus circles the heart, separating the atria from the ventricles As it circles the heart, it contains the right coronary artery, the small cardiac vein, the coronary sinus, and the circumflex branch of the left coronary artery.
The anterior and posterior interventricular sulci separate the two ventricles—the anterior interventricu- lar sulcus is on the anterior surface of the heart and contains the anterior interventricular artery and the great cardiac vein, and the posterior interventricular sulcus is on the diaphragmatic surface of the heart and contains the posterior interventricular artery and the middle cardiac vein.
