what is the function of anterior cardiac vein?
483994
The function of the anterior cardiac veins is to drain the upper anterior portion of the myocardium of the right ventricle. These veins empty directly into the right atrium, unlike the majority of the cardiac veins that empty into the coronary sinus.

There are two auricles in the heart. Each one is attached to the anterior surface of the outer-walls of the atria (i.e.left and right atria). They look like wrinkled pouch like structures. Their purpose is to increase the capacity of the atrium and also increase the volume of blood that is able to contain.

a. Atrioventricular valves structure is like pockets while semilunar valves are like half-moons. The function of atrioventricular valves is to separate the atria from the ventricles and allow blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles in a one direction.

Its major functions include: maintenance of adequate cardiac position, separation from the surrounding tissues of the mediastinum, protection against ventricular dilatation, maintenance of low transmural pressure, facilitation of ventricular interdependence and atrial filling.

Left anterior descending artery. This smaller artery branches off the left coronary artery. It sends blood to the front of the left side of the heart. It also helps send blood to the middle (septum) of the heart.

Cardiovascular System. The primary function of the heart and blood vessels is to transport oxygen, nutrients, and byproducts of metabolism.

Vein. Veins are vessels of the circulatory system that support circulation by conveying blood to the heart. Blood flowing through the circulatory system transports nutrients, oxygen, and water to cells throughout the body.

The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary vein and pumps it into the aorta, while the right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the vena cava and pumps it into the pulmonary vein.

What is the function of the heart? The heart provides the force necessary to circulate the blood to all the tissues in the body.

Its primary roles are to act as a holding chamber for blood returning from the lungs and to act as a pump to transport blood to other areas of the heart. The walls of the left atrium are slightly thicker than the walls of the right atrium.

The branchial hearts pump blood to the gills, where oxygen is taken up. Blood then flows to the systemic heart, where it is pumped to the rest of the body. The systemic heart is made of three chambers: a lower ventricle and two upper auricles.

These include the great cardiac vein, the middle cardiac vein, the small cardiac vein, the smallest cardiac veins, and the anterior cardiac veins. Coronary veins carry blood with a poor level of oxygen, from the myocardium to the right atrium.

On the inferior surface of the heart it anastomoses with the posterior interventricular branch of the right coronary artery. The anterior interventricular artery supplies the: left ventricle. right ventricle - small section of outflow tract.

AVf is on the left ankle or left lower abdomen and looks at the bottom, or inferior wall, of the heart. Lead lll travels from AVL towards AVf to become a 3rd inferior lead. V2 V3 and V4 look at the front of the heart and are the anterior leads.

Upper Body Circulation The superior vena cava is the large vein that brings blood from the head and arms to the heart, and the inferior vena cava brings blood from the abdomen and legs into the heart.

role in cardiovascular system Shallow grooves called the interventricular sulci, containing blood vessels, mark the separation between ventricles on the front and back surfaces of the heart. There are two grooves on the external surface of the heart.

In the lower extremities, deep system consists of the anterior and posterior tibial veins and peroneal vein. These veins drain into the popliteal vein and eventually into the superficial femoral vein.
