The first vessels that branch off the aorta are called the coronary arteries. These arteries are so important for the heart muscle to work properly that they are the first off the aorta.These arteries give blood to the heart muscle itself. These arteries are also called coronary arteries because they form a crown around the top of the heart with the arteries forming an upside down crown.

Each artery that comes from the heart is surrounded by capillaries so that they can take it to the various parts of the body. This is why whenever we get a paper cut and we bleed this blood is from the capillaries which branch off in to smaller veins and arteries and then eventually into capillaries.

What is the function of the blood vessels on the outer wall of the heart?
Nutrients and oxygen have to get to the outside of the heart. So the blood vessels on the outside have that job. The nutrients and oxygen can't get to the cardiac muscle from inside the heart. Blood vessels that lead from the heart that are high in oxygen and nutrients have their first branch off the aorta that goes to these blood vessels. That's how important these vessels are to the heart and how it functions.
