What is the function of coronary arteries and veins?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Arteries/veins: Every organ needs a supply line (artery) and discharge (vein). Think of your faucet and drain. The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with oxygen and energy, the veins carry off the metabolic waste.
