Which circulatory system of vessels provides the heart with its own blood supply for nutrients and oxygen?

The coronary circulation is the circulatory system of vessels that provides the heart with its own blood supply for nutrients and oxygen. The coronary arteries branch off from the aorta and supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle, while the coronary veins collect deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle and return it to the right atrium.
