The marginal, anterior and ventricular arteries provide the cardiac muscle with oxygenated blood.
The coronary arteries are the major vessels bringing blood to the heart muscle. The are the left and right coronary arteries, the left having a common trunk followed by the circumflex and anterior descending branches.

carry blood away from the heart to other parts of the body.ANSWER:Arteries usually carry oxygenated blood from heart to all the parts of the body whereas a coronary artery carries oxygenated blood and supplies it to the heart muscle-myocardium (for its functioning!) and that's where usually angina results as a result of artery thickening.Also the pulmonary artery is the only artery to carry de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for purification!!
