96
Besides the heart, (2) other mechanisms pump blood from lower body to heart
1) skeletal muscle pump 2) respiratory pump
97
skeletal muscle pump
contraction → compressed vein →milking (pushes blood through proximal valve) & distal valve closes muscle relaxation → proximal valve closes → distal valve opens → proximal valve reopens
98
Respiratory pump
based on alternating compression & decompression of veins **Inhalation** → thoracic cavity pressure decreases → abdominal cavity pressure increases →abdominal veins compressed → blood moves to thoracic veins → right atrium Exhalation → valves in veins prevent backflow from thoracic to abdominal veins
