The coronary arteries. These leave the aorta and branch out over the heart. Blood only flows though these vessels during diastole because during systole they are blocked off by the aortic valve.
The two main vessels that arise from the Sinus of Valsalva, located just above the aortic valves, are the right and left cornary arteries. The right coronary artery mainly supply the right ventricle and the sinoatrial node. The left main artery is divided into the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex artery. The left anterior descending artery mainly supplies the anterior and septal portion of the heart, namely the left ventricle. The left circumflex artery supplies the lateral walls of the left ventricle. Finally, the posterior descending artery can arise from either the right or left coronary artery. If the posterior descending artery arises from the right coronary artery, the heart is termed right heart dominant, which is seen in approximately 70% of individuals. If the posterior descending artery arises from the left circumflex artery, it is termed left heart dominance. It is also possible for the posterior descending artery to arise from both the right and left coronary artery. In this configuration, the heart is considered co-dominant. The posterior descending artery mainly supplies the inferior wall of the left ventricle and the inferior portion of the septal wall.
What else can I help you with?
What is an artery that supplies blood to the heart?
The coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium (heart muscle).
What is the purpose of the coronary artery and what happens if there is a blockage?
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (also called coronary artery bypass surgery [CABG] and bypass operation) is performed to restore blood flow to the heart. This relieves chest pain and ischemia, improves the patient's quality of life.
What arteries feed the heart mscle?

What type of blood does the coronary artery deliver to the heart?
The coronary artery delivers oxygenated blood to the heart. The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
What is the function of the left coronary artery?
It supplies the cardiac muscle with oxygen and other nutrients, but only the left side of the heart

What artery supplies blood to the right atrium and right ventricle?
The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right atrium and most of the right ventricle. It branches off from the aorta and runs along the surface of the heart, providing oxygenated blood to these areas.
What is the purpose of the coronary artery and what happens if there is a blockage?
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (also called coronary artery bypass surgery [CABG] and bypass operation) is performed to restore blood flow to the heart. This relieves chest pain and ischemia, improves the patient's quality of life.
