Right coronary artery arises from:

 # Right coronary artery arises from:

A. Anterior aortic sinus

B. Posterior aortic sinus

C. Right aortic sinus

D. Left aortic sinus

The correct answer is A. Anterior aortic sinus.

An aortic sinus is one of the anatomic dilations of the ascending aorta, which occurs just above the aortic valve. These widenings are between the wall of the aorta and each of the three cusps of the aortic valve. 

There are generally three aortic sinuses: (one anterior and 2 posterior sinus) 

• Right coronary artery arises from anterior aortic sinus of ascending aorta. 

• Left coronary artery arises from left posterior aortic sinus. 

• Right posterior aortic sinus is non-coronary sinus.
