Coronary Circulation
Branches of ascendens aorta :
Right coronary artery
Left coronary artery
Branches of Right coronary artery
marginalis arteries
posterior descendens arteries
Supplies blood to the right ventricle . right atrium SA
node and AV node.
Veins :
great cardiac vein ( vena cordis magna),
posterior vein to left ( Vena posterior ventriculi sinistri),
coronary sinus ( Sinus coronarius), and
middle cardiac vein ( Vena cordis media)
cordis minimi vein ( cardiaca minimi vein) dexter atria
oblique atrii sinistri vein

Cardiac Pathology
= Inadequate blood
= Angina Pectoris
( carotid body):
Is a small cluster of
chemoreceptors and
supporting cells located
near the bifurcation of
the carotid artery, that
monitors changes in the
oxygen content of the
blood and help control
respiratory activity
They release a variety of
neurotransmitter .
Pulmonary circuit
The
blood pathway
between the right side
of the heart, to the
lungs, and back to the
left side of the heart.
Systemic circuit
The
pathway between
the left and right sides
of the heart.
