Question
Chapter 19.2, Problem 10AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Why coronary artery blood flow is greater when the heart relaxes than when it contracts, in contrast to the arterialsystem almost everywhere else in the body
Introduction:
Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscles. Like the other organs, the heart also needs oxygenated blood and nutrients for its functioning. These arteries supply blood to the anterior and posterior sides of the heart. Coronary blood flow is entirely reciprocal when compared to the other organ system blood flow, which is detailed here.

- Aorta Arteries Capillaries Veins Vena Cava The blood pressure through the system is highest at the output of the heart and falls as it moves through the system approximately (for a person lying down) as shown in the figure. The drop is largest in the capillaries. Why? Because the viscosity of blood is lower when it's in the capillaries. Because the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries is large. Because each capillary has a small radius. Because the velocity of flow in the capillaries is very low.
