Non-coronary vessels refer to blood vessels in the body that are not part of the coronary circulation, which supplies blood to the heart muscle itself. These vessels include arteries, veins, and capillaries that serve other organs and tissues, such as the systemic and pulmonary circulations. Examples include the aorta, pulmonary arteries, and peripheral veins. Their primary function is to transport oxygenated and deoxygenated blood throughout the body, supporting overall physiological processes.
Pulmonary circulation - between the heart and the lungs Systematic circulation - between the heart and the rest of the body Coronary circulation - the heart itself

Portal renal and coronary circulations are classified as special circuits due to their unique pathways and functions that differ from the general systemic circulation. The portal circulation specifically directs blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver for processing nutrients and detoxifying substances, while the coronary circulation supplies oxygenated blood directly to the heart muscle itself, ensuring its proper function. These circuits have specialized structures and regulatory mechanisms that cater to the specific metabolic needs of the organs they serve.
no
The function of the coronary arteries and veins is to supply the heart with vital oxygen for it to function. It may also carry trace minerals that help it conduct and contract.
provide heart muscle with blood
The function of the coronary artery is to carry oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium (heart muscle), it does not actually take the carbon dioxide away, (that is the job of the great and small cardiac veins).
