Coronary arteries. The orifice of the coronary arteries are located on proximal part of the ascending aorta, and there are two orifices branching into the left and right coronary arteries.

The marginal, anterior and ventricular arteries provide the cardiac muscle with oxygenated blood.

The coronary arteries are the major vessels bringing blood to the heart muscle. The are the left and right coronary arteries, the left having a common trunk followed by the circumflex and anterior descending branches.
