CORONARY CIRCULATION AND VENOUS DRAINAGE OF THE HEART
Introduction Coronary circulation refers to the network of blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. The heart’s own blood supply comes from the coronary arteries, which branch off the aorta. Venous drainage involves the collection of…
PUMPING OF THE HEART AND REGULATION OF CARDIAC OUTPUT
Introduction The heart pumps blood through rhythmic contractions, known as the cardiac cycle. During systole, the heart contracts, forcing blood out of the chambers into the arteries. During diastole, the heart relaxes, allowing the chambers to fill with blood again.…
