The muscular system, mainly the large group of muscles in the lower extremity.
Muscles act like pumps that, with each contraction, pumps venous blood to the heart.
The calf muscles- the Gastrocnemius and the soleus muscle group, these are called peripheral heart, they prevent pooling of blood in legs while standing.
Breathing also aids circulation. As the diaphragm lowers when one inhales, it reduces pressure in the thoracic cavity and increases pressure in the abdominal cavity. This aids in the flow of blood up the largest abdominal vein, the inferior vena cava, back to the heart.
The cardiovascular system is the primary system for moving blood around the body in a "closed"...
