Fill in the blanks with the terms provided. Not all terms will be used.
A relatively small blood pressure gradient is generally insufficient to move blood through the veins under given conditions, thus venous return must be facilitated by valves within veins and two "pumps." The skeletal muscle pump assists the movement of blood primarily within the limbs. As skeletal muscles contract, veins are squeezed to help propel the blood toward the heart. The respiratory pump assists the movement of blood within the thoracic cavity. The diaphragm contracts and flattens as we inspire. Intra-abdominal pressure increases and places pressure on the vessels within the abdominal cavity. Concomitantly, thoracic cavity volume increases and intrathoracic pressure decreases. Blood is propelled from the abdominopelvic cavity into the thoracic cavity.
