diastole
The coronary arteries deliver blood to the muscles of the heart.
coronary bypass
the coronary arteries feed oxygenated blood to the heart muscle where as the coronary veins take the deoxygenated blood back the heart.
The function of the coronary arteries is to transport oxygenated blood to the heart--------not to other parts of the body !!The vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium are known as coronary arteries.The coronary arteries that run on the surface of the heart are called epicardial coronary arteries. These arteries, when healthy, are capable of autoregulation to maintain coronary blood flow at levels appropriate to the needs of theheart muscle.The coronary arteries are classified as "end circulation", since they represent the only source of blood supply to the myocardium.
Coronary arteries primarily receive blood supply during diastole when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood. This is because during systole, when the heart is contracting to push blood out, the coronary arteries can get compressed which reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.
The heart muscle is supplied with oxygenated blood by the coronary arteries. Along with the oxygenated blood, the arteries also supplies the heart muscle with nutrient-filled blood.

The coronary artery delivers oxygenated blood to the heart. The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
The coronary arteries get their blood directly from the aorta.

The coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium (heart muscle).
