The coronary sinus runs in the posterior coronary sulcus. In the anterior coronary sulci the stems of the coronary artery run. The circumflex branch of the left and the extension of the right coronary artery that becomes the posterior descending artery run around the coronary sulcus from front to back

What are the name of the main arteries and veins in the heart?

There are twenty main arteries, unfortunately. Some are:Carotid artery: runs up both sides of the neck and is the artery felt when taking a pulse from the neck, delivers blood to the brain.Femoral: runs through the middle of the thigh on both legs, delivers blood to the lower extremities above the elbow.Brachial: runs from the anterior of the shoulder to the elbow, delivers blood to the upper extremities.Radial and Ulnar: stems off of the brachial and goes around the radius and ulna respectively, feeds blood to the flangies and lower extremites below the elbow.For more information visit the Related Links.


What is the coronary artery in an adult?

There are two, the right and the left. They are the blood vessels that run directly out of the heart. One runs to the lungs to get oxygen and the other sends oxygenated blood into the body. ALSO: THEY ARE THE BLOOD VESSELS THAT SUPPLIES BLOOD TO THE HEART'S MUSCLES ---- The first answer above is incorrect. The coronary arteries are two in number, the right and the left. They arise from the proximal aorta, just after the aortic valve and supply blood directly to the cardiac muscle. The left has three main divisions: the left main coronary artery, which is the relatively short first segment. The left main then branches into the left anterior descending (LAD) and the left circumflex artery. The left artery supplies most of the septum and left side of the heart, including the left ventricle. The right coronary artery is a relatively smaller vessel and supplies the right side of the heart and the inferoposterior portion of the heart. It also supplies blood to the SA node and also to the AV node (in about 60% of patients).
