Where can you find coronary circulation?

Answer 1

Coronary Circulations is the blood supply to the heart. The major arteries of the coronary supply are listed below. The supply to the heart is strange, in that blood only flows through its arteries during ventricular diastole (when the ventricles relax). This happens because of the Aortic valve, which stops backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventircle. The valve is, in essence, a flap that sits over the opening to the aorta so that when the heart is relaxed the aortic blood will push againts it and hold it down, but when the veinctricla contract the flap is forced up and open to allow flow out of the ventricle. The very first arter from the aorta is the one supllying the heart (the Coronary Artery). It comes from the aorta just after the aorta come from the heart. For this reason it is blocked by the flap of skin during systole (contraction). When diastole occurs the flap is no longer pushed up so it no longer blockes the coronary supply. This is somewhat hard to explain in words and I am not aware of any way to add diagrams to this site yet but i hope this helped, or at least i hope you found it interesting. Main arteries of the heart (very abreviated): Left Coronary; Right Coronary; Right Marginal; Left Marginal; Anterior Inverventricular; Posterior Interventricular.
