"OK, Doc, give me your venous flow."
Pressures that occlude venous but not arterial flow can exacerbate hemorrhage and cause damage to healthy tissue.
The blood is dark and oozing - venous flow.
The second pump is a result of the respiratory and skeletal systems, which exert their greatest action on venous flow.
Physiologically, however, the differences in these values are negligible so that arterial flow and venous flow are often assumed equal.
Induces arterial, venous and lymphatic flow 7.
DVT often develops in the calf veins and "grows" in the direction of venous flow, towards the heart.
In human physiology, the atria facilitate circulation primarily by allowing uninterrupted venous flow to the heart during ventricular systole.
But without functioning atria, venous flow becomes pulsatile, and the overall circulation rate decreases significantly.
Atria have four essential characteristics that cause them to promote continuous venous flow.
