Answer:

The purpose of the coronary artery is to supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart. If there is a blockage in this vessel, it can restrict blood flow to the heart and can cause a heart attack if the blood flow is completely cut off.

the coronary artery supplies blood to the heart. if there are blockages, you will have a heart attack, since this artery supplies oxygen rich blood to the heart. Without it, the heart can die
