What is coronary circulation? 

Difficulty: Medium

Even though the heart chambers are continually bathed with blood, this does not nourish the heart muscles. The blood supply to the heart muscles is provided by the coronary arteries, which emerge from the base of the aorta. The heart muscles are drained by the coronary veins, which empty into the right atrium. The coronary arteries and veins are collectively called coronary circulation and it is a part of the systemic circulation.
