coronary artery

An artery that supplies the myocardium. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the coronary artery is

An artery that supplies the myocardium. The atlas records it as a artery at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the coronary artery is

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the coronary artery connects to

The atlas records 10 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of heart.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the coronary artery. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
