Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Small tributaries from the branches of the coronary arteries form interconnections called anastomoses, which allow for collateral circulation in case of blockages or occlusions in certain vessels. Infarcts refer to areas of tissue death caused by lack of blood supply, auricles are structures in the heart's atria, regurgitations refer to leakage of blood through valves, and trabeculae carneae are muscular ridges inside the heart's ventricles. Therefore, E (anastomoses) is the correct choice that fits the description given in the question.
