The right coronary artery supplies oxygenated blood to the right atrium, the right ventricle, and the posterior third and inferior end of the interventricular septum. [2] [5] It may also supply 25% to 35% of the left ventricle (LV). [10] There is significant overlap of supply of the coronary arteries. [2]
The atrial branches of right coronary artery derive from the right coronary artery and provide part of the blood supply to the right atrium and left atrium. Although named for the right coronary artery in Terminologia anatomica , a portion of the blood supply to the atria derives from the Circumflex branch of left coronary artery .
The right atrial appendage (lat: auricula atrii dextra) is located at the front upper surface of the right atrium. Looking from the front, the right atrial appendage appears wedge-shaped or triangular. Its base surrounds the superior vena cava. [6] The right atrial appendage is a pouch-like extension of the right atrium and is covered by a ...
The CAJ is the joint between the superior vena cava and the atrium. The cavoatrial junction (CAJ) is the point at which the superior vena cava meets and melds into the superior wall of the cardiac right atrium. Both the superior and inferior vena cavae enter the right atrium, but only the superior entry is called the cavoatrial junction.
The right border of the heart (right margin of heart) is a long border on the surface of the heart, and is formed by the right atrium. The atrial portion is rounded and almost vertical; it is situated behind the third, fourth, and fifth right costal cartilages about 1.25 cm. from the margin of the sternum.
The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...
The coronary sinus drains through the posterior wall of right atrium at the orifice of the coronary sinus. [6] [1] This orifice is located at the posteroinferior aspect of the right atrium, just medial [1] and to the left of the orifice of inferior vena cava, [6] and between the inferior vena cava and the right atrioventricular orifice ...
It is an anatomical area located at the base of the right atrium, and its boundaries are the coronary sinus orifice, tendon of Todaro, and the septal leaflet of the right atrioventricular valve (also known as the tricuspid valve). [2] It is anatomically significant because the atrioventricular node is located at the apex of the triangle. The ...
