Step 1
For muscle contraction oxygen is needed at helps in energy production by the electron transport chain. Heart muscles continuously pumps the blood and for this function their needs high amount of energy (ATP). This energy is produced from the metabolism of glucose through cellular respiration. The coronary arteries are responsible for delivering oxygen into this heart muscles.
