coronary sinus. It is a vein located on the heart's surface that collects deoxygenated blood from the coronary circulation and returns it to the right atrium.


What drains blood from the myocardium to the right atrium?

The coronary sinus is the main vessel that drains oxygen-depleted blood from the myocardium into the right atrium. It collects blood from the cardiac veins that run throughout the heart muscle and then empties into the right atrium of the heart.


The coronary sulcus is a groove that?

The function of the coronary sulcus is to ultimately transfer blood between the cardiac muscles. The coronary sulcus is located between the ventricles and the atria. Reference: medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com


Anterior branch of the left coronary artery lies in anterior interventricular sulcus?

Yes, the anterior branch of the left coronary artery, also known as the left anterior descending artery (LAD), courses within the anterior interventricular sulcus. This artery supplies blood to the anterior walls of the left ventricle and interventricular septum. It is a critical vessel for the heart's blood supply.


What is the importance of the coronary circulation?
