What major blood vessels make up the coronary circuit of the heart?

to add to the above answer:





The LAD (left anterior descending) has branches called the diagonals, of which there may be several.





The circumflex has branches call obtuse marginals





An additional branch, in a percentage of people is called a ramus intermediate and is located between the LAD and the Circ.





Of note, this is just the arterial vessels of the heart.What major blood vessels make up the coronary circuit of the heart?
The two main coronary arteries are the left and right coronary arteries. The left coronary artery (LCA), which divides into the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and the circumflex (CX) branch, supplies blood to the heart ventricles and left atrium. The right coronary artery (RCA), which divides into the right posterior descending artery and a large marginal branch
