Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The connections between the arterial branches of the coronary circulation that maintain a constant blood supply to the heart muscle are called anastomoses. This allows for blood to flow through alternate pathways in case of blockages or decreased blood flow in a particular vessel. Syncytium, intercalation, prolapse, and autorhythmicity are not related to the interconnections between coronary arteries.
