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).
