Blood Supply
The left atrium is supplied mainly by the left circumflex coronary artery, though the branches are too small to be identified in a cadaveric human heart and are not named.
The oblique vein of the left atrium is partly responsible for venous drainage; it derives from the embryonic left superior vena cava.
