The Blood Supply to the Heart. Coronary circulation meets heavy demands of myocardium for oxygen, nutrients. Coronary arteries aorta base. (right, left) branch from. Anastomoses (arterial interconnections) ensure constant blood supply. Drainage is to right atrium. Great, middle cardiac veins drain capillaries.
becomes oxygenated and then returns to the heart before delivering the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The heart has four chambers, and most diagrams will show the heart as it is viewed from the ventral side. This means that as you look at the heart, the left side refers to the "patient's" left side and not your left side.
