How does the body establish a pressure gradient for fluid flow?
A pressure gradient exists in the arteries because the heart actively pumps the blood; additionally, the elasticity of the larger arteries helps force the blood along. There is a lower pressure gradient within the veins that is generated by the muscles squeezing the blood along back to the heart (assisted by valves within the veins).

What is the name of the blood vessel which carries blood to the cardiac muscles?
