Solution

Coronary blood vessels:

  1. The coronary blood vessels involve all the capillaries, veins, and arteries that are responsible for blood circulation to and from the cardiac muscles.
  2. The cardiac arteries are responsible for the delivery of oxygenated blood from the lungs to the cardiac muscles.
  3. Cardiac veins assist in the transport of deoxygenated blood from the muscles of the heart to the lungs.
  4. Deposition of lipids in the arterial walls leads to atherosclerosis.
  5. Blockage of any of the coronary arteries depletes the cardiac muscles of oxygen and leads to myocardial infarction.
