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 are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to the heart. However, most oxygen-rich blood is being carried away from the heart, meaning that most arte â¦ ries are not carrying blood into the heart at all.
