When your heart's left ventricle (one of the four chambers of the heart) pumps blood into the aorta (the largest artery in the body), the first muscle to receive the oxygen-rich blood is your heart itself. It receives this blood through the coronary arteries on the surface of the heart.
The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle itself. The right coronary artery is the major artery that supplies blood to the upper and lower chambers on the right side of the heart. There is also a left coronary artery. Watch this animation to learn more about these arteries.
