Arteriosclerosis is any hardening (stiffening) of artery walls. One of the ways this can happen is through atherosclerosis, which is when an atheroma (a build-up of dead RBCs, fibres and platelets) begins to accumulate within an artery wall and may stick out into the lumen or even break through the endothelium. This makes the artery less flexible.
So someone with arteriosclerosis does not necessarily have atherosclerosis, but someone with atherosclerosis must have arteriosclerosis, as their arteries have hardened.

What is the difference between coronary arteries and vessels?
When people use the word vessel in relation to the cardiovascular system, they usually are referring to blood vessels like arteries, veins, or capillaries. Coronary arteries are specific blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the muscles (myocardium) of the heart.
What two useful substance the coronary arteries in the heart will supply?
The coronary arteries supply oxygenated and nutrient filled blood to the heart muscle. There are two main coronary arteries: right coronary artery and left coronary artery. Other arteries diverge from these two main arteries and extend to the bottom portion of the heart.
What are the arteries on the hearts surface?
coronary arteries.
What is an artery that supplies blood to the heart?
The coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium (heart muscle).
Where do coronary arteries empty their blood at?
After the coronary arteries travel around the heart, they go to the lungs for oxygenation.

Which blood vessels supply blood to the heart muscle?
The heart muscle is supplied with oxygenated blood by the coronary arteries. Along with the oxygenated blood, the arteries also supplies the heart muscle with nutrient-filled blood.
These Arteries supply the myocardium?
Coronary artery
What arteries surround the heart?
The coronary arteries.
What is the importance of the coronary arteries?
coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart
Where do coronary arteries in the interventricular groove get their blood from?
The coronary arteries get their blood directly from the aorta.

Is coronary artery the largest artery?
No. The coronary arteries are not the largest arteries. The aorta is the largest artery.
