The RCA also supplies the SA nodal artery in 60% of people. The other 40% of the time, the SA nodal artery is supplied by the left circumflex artery. [citation needed] Although rare, several anomalous courses of the right coronary artery have been described including origin from the left aortic sinus. [9]
In approximately 33% of individuals, the left coronary artery gives rise to the posterior descending artery [4] which perfuses the posterior and inferior walls of the left ventricle. Sometimes a third branch is formed at the fork between left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries, known as a ramus or intermediate artery .

The atrial branches of right coronary artery derive from the right coronary artery and provide part of the blood supply to the right atrium and left atrium. Although named for the right coronary artery in Terminologia anatomica , a portion of the blood supply to the atria derives from the Circumflex branch of left coronary artery .
The origin of the sinoatrial node artery is not related to coronary artery dominance, which means the side (right or left) that provides the circulation to the back of the heart. In contrast, the atrioventricular nodal branch, that is the artery that brings blood to the atrioventricular node, depends on coronary artery dominance. [citation needed]
fibular artery (sometimes from popliteal artery) communicating branch to the anterior tibial artery; perforating branch to the posterior tibial artery; medial plantar artery; lateral plantar artery; sural artery; medial superior genicular artery.

The atrioventricular nodal branch sees significant variation in origin: proximal posterolateral branch from the right coronary artery in around 77%. [1] distal posterolateral branch from the right coronary artery in around 2%. [1] distal right coronary artery in around 10%. [1] right posterior interventricular artery in around 7%. [1]
The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...
