When the heart chambers are contracting at their maximum force to push blood out of the heart it's called systole.

No, heart chambers are separate from veins and arteries. The heart chambers are internal compartments that receive and pump blood, while veins and arteries are blood vessels that transport blood throughout the body.

Why does the myocardium receives it blood from coronary arteries and not from the cardiac chambers?

Myocardium is a type of muscle tissue. The reason why the myocardium receives its blood from coronary arteries and not from the cardiac chambers is because the blood from the cardiac chambers does not contain oxygen and nutrients.

How does your heart work to pump blood throughout your body?

The heart pumps blood throughout the body by contracting and relaxing in a rhythmic pattern. When the heart contracts (squeezes), it pushes blood out of the chambers and into the arteries. This blood is then carried to all parts of the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients. When the heart relaxes, it allows blood to flow back into the chambers so it can be pumped out again. This continuous cycle ensures that all cells in the body receive the necessary blood supply for proper functioning.


What makes the pulmonary veins and arteries more confusing than other veins and arteries?

We usually think of arteries as the vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the body, and we usually think of veins as the vessels that carry spent blood back to the heart/lungs. But the vessels around the heart can be a little different. It is an artery that carries spent blood from the heart to the lungs (where they get re-charged with oxygen), and then it is a vein that carries this oxygenated blood back to the heart to then be pumped out to the body.To clear it up, realize that if a vessel is carrying blood out of the heart chambers, it is an artery. If the vessel is carrying blood back to the heart chambers, it is a vein. It is not oxygen content that defines a vessel as an artery or a vein.The coronary arteries are vessels that are carrying oxygenated blood out of the heart chambers and into the heart muscle itself; they are not carrying blood into the chambers for pumping. So they also are indeed arteries and not veins.
