Lateral circumflex branch of the femoral artery
A non-dominant circumflex artery is a branch of the coronary circulation that supplies blood to the heart muscle. It typically originates from the right coronary artery or the left coronary artery, and its role is to support blood supply to the heart in case the dominant artery is compromised.
The lateral side of the hand receives blood supply from the radial artery.
Located just above the aortic valves, are the right and left cornary arteries. The right coronary artery mainly supply the right ventricle and the sinoatrial node. The left main artery is divided into the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex artery. The left anterior descending artery mainly supplies the anterior and septal portion of the heart, namely the left ventricle. The left circumflex artery supplies the lateral walls of the left ventricle.
Medial Femoral Circumflex... Without this artery blood supply to the head of the femur is cut off and the head of the femur will die
The gastrocnemius muscle receives its blood supply primarily from the popliteal artery, which branches into the posterior tibial and anterior tibial arteries. Specifically, the sural arteries, which arise from the popliteal artery, provide the main vascular supply to the gastrocnemius. Additionally, the muscle may receive some blood from the medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries.

The deltoid muscle helps to prevent the dislocation of the long bone in the upper arm. The blood supply to the deltoid is through the posterior circumflex humeral artery.
The blood vessel which provides blood to most of the left ventricle is the Left Anterior Descending artery, a branch of the Left Main Coronary Artery. The Circumflex artery, also a branch of the Left Main, also supplies blood to the posterior left ventricle.
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 :)
