∙ 7y agoThe left coronary artery is an artery which arises from the base of the ascending aorta, passing posterior to the pulmonary trunk and inferior to the left auricle. The left coronary artery is divided into small branches to supply nutrients to the left side of the heart. Its major branches include the circumflex branch and the anterior interventricular branch.

Which blood vessel supplies blood to the heart muscle?
The myocardium (muscle) that makes up the heart has its own blood supply called the coronary circulation. The coronary circulation comprises two main arteries; the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery. They branch off from the aorta (the biggest artery in the body!) really early on. The left coronary artery branches (into left marginal artery) to supply the left atrium and ventricle (chambers). The right coronary artery branches (into circumflex and left anterior descending) to supply the right atrium and ventricle and a bit of the left ventricle. Extra for experts: the way the coronary circulation is made up can change (just like people can be short or tall) because of genetic variability. So most people (about 70% off the top of my head) are "right dominant," because their right coronary artery branches to form the posterior interventricular artery. Some people are "left dominant" because their left coronary artery branches to form the posterior interventricular artery. So just remember Aorta --> left coronary artery --> left marginal --> right coronary artery --> circumflex + left anterior descending + the posterior interventricular artery from either left or right coronary artery Hope this helps :)

What artery runs along the coronary sulcus?
