Your heart pumps blood throughout your body—but it also needs its own blood supply.
Discover the coronary arteries in this cinematic 3D medical animation from Body Spectra.
The right and left coronary arteries branch from the aortic root and deliver oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium, the muscle responsible for every heartbeat.
In this short anatomy journey, discover: ✅ Where the coronary arteries begin. ✅ How the right and left coronary arteries branch. ✅ What the LAD and circumflex arteries do. ✅ How coronary vessels deliver oxygen to the heart muscle. ✅ Why much of left-coronary blood flow occurs while the heart relaxes.
When a coronary artery becomes severely narrowed or blocked, the heart muscle may not receive enough oxygen. Coronary circulation is essential to keeping the heart working.
