How the heart works
Coronary arteries
The heart is a muscular contractile organ supplied with blood through vessels called coronary arteries. There are two main coronary arteries:
Left coronary artery
This artery bifurcates into the anterior interventricular artery and the left circumflex artery. The anterior interventricular artery runs between the left and right ventricles. The circumflex artery, on the other hand, wraps around the heart (as its name suggests), giving rise to the obtuse marginal arteries.
Right coronary artery
This artery supplies blood to the right side of the heart.
