Respiratory Pump mechanism- pressure changes occur in the thoracic and abdominal cavities during inspiration and expiration. This compresses veins and assists blood return to the heart.The muscle pump mechanism- muscular contractions compress the veins, squeezing blood back towards the heart. Pocket valves inside the veins prevent the back-flow of blood returning to the heart.

What two things help the blood in veins return to the heart?
The blood in veins is at a lower pressure than it is in the arteries. The lower pressure makes for challenges getting that blood back to the heart. As there is less force (pressure) in the veins, blood would pool in the lower parts of the body if there were not mechanisms to prevent that. There are three different things that help blood get back to the heart. The three mechanisms are: venous valves, muscular pumps, and the respiratory pump.
Name 3 factors that are important in promoting venous return?
Larger lumens of veins with valves, Skeleton muscle activity and Respiratory pumpThree factors that are important in promoting venous return are:1. Intact system2. Good pump - valves - size of vessels - PR3. Breathing - respiratory pump
What are three mechanisms of crustal thickening that occur at convergent boundaries?
Three mechanisms for crustal thickening are magmatic intrusion, sedimentation, and faulting.
What are the three mechanisms of hydrogen ion removal?
The three mechanisms of hydrogen removal are the Bicarbonate buffer system, the respiratory system and kidney function.
What are the three mechanisms in chemistry?
You think probable to synthesis, decomposition, oxidation.
What are three lifting mechanisms for air?
Convective, orographic, frontal lifting, and convergent.
Three distinctly different psychodynamic defense mechanisms?
Denial, repression, displacement.
What are the three types of bleeding?
1. Venous bleeding (bleeding from the veins). 2. Arterial bleeding (bleeding from the arteries). 3. Capillary bleeding.
Which of the three mechanisms of heat transfer is least important meteorologically?
Conduction is the least important.
What are three examples of defense mechanisms?
the shell of a turtle. the smell of a skunk. the camouflage of a chameleon.
What are the three major part of your circulatory system?
Very simply put the venous system, the arterial system and your heart. The venous system bring blood from your organs and extremities to your heart, which pumps it and the arterial system takes it from your heart to your organs and extremities.
What are the 4 defense mechanisms of obsessive compulsive disorder?
Isolation, Undoing, reaction formation are the main three defence mechanisms for OCD. Magical thinking is another mechanism associated with OCD.
