The auricles wrap around to
the anterior side of the heart.

The Coronary Vessels
Coronary arteries and veins
supply blood to the heart itself.
This is called coronary
circulation

Coronary Arteries and Veins
Oxygenated blood goes into
the heart wall through
coronary arteries
Deoxygenated blood
returns from the heart wall
through coronary veins
