Transcript text: The source of blood carried to capillaries in the myocardium would be the $\qquad$
coronary sinus
coronary veins
coronary arteries
fossa ovalis
Solution
The answer is the third one: coronary arteries.
Explanation for each option:
Coronary sinus: This is a large vein that collects deoxygenated blood from the myocardium and returns it to the right atrium of the heart. It does not supply blood to the myocardium.
Coronary veins: These veins collect deoxygenated blood from the myocardium and drain it into the coronary sinus. They do not supply blood to the myocardium.
Coronary arteries: These arteries branch off from the aorta and supply oxygenated blood to the myocardium. They are the source of blood carried to the capillaries in the myocardium.
Fossa ovalis: This is a depression in the right atrium of the heart, a remnant of the fetal foramen ovale. It has no role in supplying blood to the myocardium.
Summary:
The coronary arteries are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood to the capillaries in the myocardium.
