Heart & Blood Vessels: Your Coronary Arteries. The heart receives its own supply of blood from the coronary arteries. Two major coronary arteries branch off from the aorta near the point where the aorta and the left ventricle meet. These arteries and their branches supply all parts of the heart muscle with blood. Left Main Coronary Artery (also called the left main trunk)
The ileac arteries are branches of the aortic artery. The aorta is the largest artery in the human body and stretches from the heart to the abdominal area. From there, it branches out to two arteries, known as the common iliac arteries; one goes to the left of the body and the other goes to the right.
