  18. Blood Supply to Heart • Blood supply to heart is via two coronary arteries (Fig. 1.49A&B, 157): Coronary arteries are the direct and only branches off the ascending aorta.

  19. Right Coronary Artery • Passes between pulmonary trunk and right auricle. • To coronary sulcus. • Follows coronary sulcus to diaphragmatic surface. • Anastomoses with left coronary artery.
