From the blood.

From the blood circulating through the blood vessels. Red blood cells carry oxygen which is then released throughout the body. The blood goes through the coronary arteries to supply oxygen to the heart.
The pathway listed above of going through the atria and ventricles just describe the general circulation of blood through the heart in terms of oxygenating it. But its once it gets pumped out of the left ventricle and before it goes through the main part of the aorta, where some blood flows through the entrance to the coronaries.

The heart isn't just a pump for blood to pass through. It is filled with tiny vessels that keep it oxygenated as with all other organs.

The heart gets oxygen from the red corpuscles in your blood stream. The blood is composed of red and white corpuscles. The white ones are the protectors of any invading free radicals. When there is an over abundance of white corpuscles, an infection of a serious nature could be setting in. The white ones are part of the immune system. When the immune system breaks down, an abundance of white corpuscles form.

Your blood. Ever see a nature program of underwater critters? The little bubble of air the critter goes to, to breath. Something like this....oxygen moves through your body as a bubble (real,real small).

Blood travels though your heart and lungs in four steps:
1-The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve.
2-The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve.
3-The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through the mitral valve.
4-The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.

The coronary arteries carry the blood to the heart muscle.
The red blood cells carry the Oxigen binded to the hemoglobine and release it to the muscle cells.

Through the lungs and the pulmonary vein to the heart.
