Do arteries carry blood to the heart?

The coronary arteries are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to the heart. However, most oxygen-rich blood is being carried away from the heart, meaning that most arteries are not carrying blood into the heart at all. Veins are responsible for carrying de-oxygenated blood towards the heart so that their oxygen supply can be replenished in the lungs.The two veins which actually enter the heart are the superior vena cava or the precava which carries blood from the upper half of the body into the heart and the inferior vena cava(IVC), also known as the posterior vena cava, which carries blood from the lower half of the body into the heart.


Where are the coronary arteries and veins found?

Coronary arteries and veins are found on the surface of the heart, branching out across the myocardium (muscle tissue of the heart). The coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, while the coronary veins collect oxygen-depleted blood from the heart muscle and return it to the circulation.
