The heart muscle is nourished by coronary arteries that supply it with oxygenated blood. These arteries branch off the aorta and wrap around the heart, providing the muscle with the nutrients and oxygen it needs to function properly. Reduced blood flow to the heart muscle can lead to serious conditions like heart attacks.
