Jul 13, 2023 · The blood supply to the heart arises from the left and right semilunar cusps of the aortic valve (respectively): The left coronary artery gives rise to the anterior interventricular (left anterior descending) and the left circumflex arteries.
The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right ventricle, the right atrium, and the SA (sinoatrial) and AV (atrioventricular) nodes, which regulate the heart rhythm. The right coronary artery divides into smaller branches, including the right posterior descending artery and the acute marginal artery.
The blood supply of the AV node is from the atrioventricular nodal branch. The origin of this artery is most commonly (80–90% of hearts) a branch of the right coronary artery , with the remainder originating from the left circumflex artery .
Jul 25, 2023 · In a right-dominant heart, the atrioventricular node is supplied by the right coronary artery. The purpose of this structure is to connect the electrical systems of the atria and the ventricles, providing electrical impedance from the atria and an intrinsic pacemaker in its absence.

Nov 10, 2024 · Last updated on November 10, 2024. The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body via the circulatory system. It is approximately the size of a fist and consists of four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The heart is composed of specialized muscle tissue, known as myocardium, and is encased within a double-layered ...
The heart provides forces to move the blood around the body by the beating Heart. The coronary circulation refers to the vessels that supply and drain the heart. Coronary arteries are named due to the way they encircle the heart, much like a crown.
