Coronary Arteries: Blood Supply to Ventricles

Description

the heart receives its own blood supply form blood from the coronary arteries. The aorta branches off in to two main coronary arteries. These coronary arteries branch off into smaller arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the entire heart muscle. This model focuses on the blood supply to the ventricles; the areas supplied by specific arteries have similar colours to corresponding arteries. Note the blood supply of the interventricular septum in particular. This model is part of an e-learning module for medicine students on the relation between location of infarcts in coronary arteries and the correlating ECGs.
