The great cardiac vein is one of the largest veins in the body. It is located in the heart, leading away from the coronary sinus. It's function is to lead blood that has had the oxygen removed from it away from the heart.

- Lies in the Coronary Sulcus (which is between the Right Atrium and Right Ventricle).
- Empties into the Coronary Sinus (Also the terminal [aka end of] portion of the Great Cardiac Vein); Coronary Sinus drains into opening of Right Atrium also.
Function
- Drains O2-poor blood from the lateral and posterior sides of the Right Atrium and Right Ventricle.
Hope this helps!

∙ 9y agoThe great cardiac vein drains deoxygenated blood into the coronary sinus. In turn, the blood is delivered into the right atrium, where it is sent to the lungs to be oxygenated again.

∙ 9y agoThe great cardiac vein leads to the coronary sinus. The coronary sinus is vein that varies in size from 15 to 65 millimeters, and it leads into the right atrium.

Cardiac Vein
Where do the great and middle cardiac vein drain blood?
You mean the great coronary vein and Marshall's vein? If so, then into the coronary sinus then to the right atrium through the valve of Thebesius!
The great cardiac vein and anteriorinterventricularartery can be found along what sulcus?
Interventricular Sulcus
Which cardiac vein travels with the right marginal artery?
small cardiac vein.
What veins are connected to the heart?
Heart Muscle VeinsThe veins that return blood from the heart muscle include the small cardiac vein (where present), the great cardiac vein (mostly from the left marginal vein), the middle cardiac vein, and the anterior cardiac veins. Most of these join to form the coronary sinus.Veins returning blood to the heart (right atrium - 7 )Inferior vena cavaSuperior vena cavaAnterior cardiac veinsSmallest cardiac veinsCoronary sinusVeins returning blood to the heart (left atrium - 4 )Left pulmonary veins (inferior and superior)Right pulmonary veins (inferior and superior)
What is coronary vein?
Cardiac veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood away from the heart muscle. Included in these is the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the anterior cardiac veins and the small cardiac vein.
