The coronary arteries are the arterial blood vessels of coronary circulation, which transport oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.The heart requires a continuous supply of oxygen to function and survive, much like any other tissue or organ of the body.
An artery (from Greek ἀρτηρία (artēríā)) [1] is a blood vessel in humans and most other animals that takes oxygenated blood away from the heart in the systemic circulation to one or more parts of the body.
Coronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the arteries and veins that supply the heart muscle (myocardium). Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.
Arteries of head and neck. Angiogram of the arterial supply.. The cerebral arteries describe three main pairs of arteries and their branches, which perfuse the cerebrum of the brain.
An arteriole is a small-diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation that extends and branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries. [1]Arterioles have muscular walls (usually only one to two layers of smooth muscle cells) and are the primary site of vascular resistance.

A muscular artery (or distributing artery) is a medium-sized artery that draws blood from an elastic artery and branches into "resistance vessels" including small arteries and arterioles.
The phenomenon of vessel restenosis, an immune response to damaged tissue, is known to be a common adverse event and the Achilles heel of angioplasty and stenting.
