What are non-coronary vessels?

Non-coronary vessels refer to blood vessels in the body that are not part of the coronary circulation, which supplies blood to the heart muscle itself. These vessels include arteries, veins, and capillaries that serve other organs and tissues, such as the systemic and pulmonary circulations. Examples include the aorta, pulmonary arteries, and peripheral veins. Their primary function is to transport oxygenated and deoxygenated blood throughout the body, supporting overall physiological processes.
