What are the three mechanisms that assist in venous return?

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.
