the right atrium
The structure you are referring to is likely the coronary sinus. It is a collection of veins that drain deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle itself back into the right atrium of the heart. It serves as the main venous drainage for the heart.
The opening of the coronary sinus is guarded by a flap of tissue called the Thebesian valve. This valve helps prevent backflow of blood from the right atrium into the coronary sinus.
the right atrium of the heart via the coronary sinus. The coronary sinus collects deoxygenated blood from the coronary veins and drains it into the right atrium of the heart. This blood then flows into the right ventricle and is pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.
The Thebesian valve is located in the right atrium of the heart, specifically at the opening of the coronary sinus. Its function is to prevent blood from flowing back into the coronary sinus when the heart contracts, helping to maintain proper blood flow and circulation.
The function of the right atrium is to receive deoxygenated blood from the body (through the superior and inferior vena cavae, and the coronary sinus) and pump it into the right ventricle, which then pumps it to the lungs to be reoxygenated.

coronary sinus
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.
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.
The coronary veins drains the unoxygenated blood and empty it into the coronary sinus, which empties into the right atrium.

The coronary sinus orifice is found in the triscupid valve
The coronary sinus is a collection of veins joined together that collect blood from the myocardium. The coronary sinus empties into the right atrium. I will answer more of your questions! :D ~Best_Cousins
