What structure supplies oxygenated blood to the heart muscle?
Coronary arteries. The orifice of the coronary arteries are located on proximal part of the ascending aorta, and there are two orifices branching into the left and right coronary arteries.The marginal, anterior and ventricular arteries provide the cardiac muscle with oxygenated blood.The coronary arteries are the major vessels bringing blood to the heart muscle. The are the left and right coronary arteries, the left having a common trunk followed by the circumflex and anterior descending branches. Each of these give off side branches which bring blood and hence oxygen to the heart muscle. Coronary arteries fill during diastole.There is a right coronary artery and the left coronary artery. In total there are four coronary arteries.
What is diagnosis of coronary artery disease?
The coronary arteries bring nutrients and oxygen to the heart. They actually are so important that they take blood to the muscles of the heart before the rest of the body. A person with a disease of these arteries has less oxygen going to the heart muscles and an increased risk of heart damage or a heart attack.
What is the simple function of artery?
It usually bring blood to the heart .
What is the largest artery and its function?
The largest artery in the body is the aorta, and it goes from the left ventricle to bring deoxygenated blood to all over the body
What is the difference between coronary arteries and arteries?
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.

Why is the heart muscle unable to contract properly if the coronary artery becomes blocked?
The coronary arteries feed and bring oxygen to the heart muscle. If that artery is blocked, the muscle will die. It can not fix itself and the damage can be so bad that the muscle will tear and the person will die.If TPA can be give quickly, the clot maybe removed. Some times the problem can be prevented if bypass surgery is preformed on a very narrow artery.
Which blood vessel supplies blood to the heart muscle?
The myocardium (muscle) that makes up the heart has its own blood supply called the coronary circulation. The coronary circulation comprises two main arteries; the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery. They branch off from the aorta (the biggest artery in the body!) really early on. The left coronary artery branches (into left marginal artery) to supply the left atrium and ventricle (chambers). The right coronary artery branches (into circumflex and left anterior descending) to supply the right atrium and ventricle and a bit of the left ventricle. Extra for experts: the way the coronary circulation is made up can change (just like people can be short or tall) because of genetic variability. So most people (about 70% off the top of my head) are "right dominant," because their right coronary artery branches to form the posterior interventricular artery. Some people are "left dominant" because their left coronary artery branches to form the posterior interventricular artery. So just remember Aorta --> left coronary artery --> left marginal --> right coronary artery --> circumflex + left anterior descending + the posterior interventricular artery from either left or right coronary artery Hope this helps :)
Which blood vessels supplies the heart muscle with oxygenated blood?
Blood is oxygenated in the lungs travels through the pulmonary veins into the heart. The heart muscle itself receives oxygenated blood through through the coronary arteries that branch off from the aorta.
What blood vessel brings oxygen to the heart muscle?
The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the muscle of the heart.
A surgical technique to bring a new blood supply to heart muscles by detouring around blocked arteries is?
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
Which blood vessels supplies the heart with its own blood supply?
Re-oxygenated blood flows into the heart via the pulmonary vein. However, these blood will leave the heart, and supply oxygen to the body. The heart has its own circulation; the cardiac arteries (supply the oxygenated blood)and the cardiac veins (drain the collected venous blood).
What is diagnosis of coronary artery disease?
The coronary arteries bring nutrients and oxygen to the heart. They actually are so important that they take blood to the muscles of the heart before the rest of the body. A person with a disease of these arteries has less oxygen going to the heart muscles and an increased risk of heart damage or a heart attack.
Where does coronary arteries bring blood?
heart.
What are the blood vessels that carry the blood to the heart?
The coronary artery, after it has been oxygenated at the lungs...
What is the simple function of artery?

What is the largest artery and its function?
The largest artery in the body is the aorta, and it goes from the left ventricle to bring deoxygenated blood to all over the body
