What force pushes the blood out of the the heart and into the arteries?

The strong contractions of the right and left ventricles push the blood up through the semi lunar valves.


What force keeps blood moving in arteries?

The heart. When the heart pumps blood, it pushes the other blood to move.


What does the pushing force come from to push the blood out of the heart?

The pushing force that moves blood out of the heart is generated by the contraction of the heart muscle itself. When the heart contracts, it creates pressure that pushes blood into the arteries, allowing it to circulate throughout the body.


The heart is what that squeezes blood into the arteries?

Yes, the heart is what squeezes or pushes blood through the arteries.


What generates blood pressure?

Blood pressure is generated by the force exerted by the heart pumping blood into the arteries and the resistance encountered by the blood flow in the arteries. The systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart contracts and pushes blood out, while the diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart relaxes and refills with blood.


When blood flow though the heart what force pushes the blood out the heart and into the arteries?

Blood moves in the blood vessels, while the heart serves as the pump for the blood. The vessel walls of the heart are elastic and are movable, therefore causing the blood and the wall to exert forces on each other which in turn influence their respective motion and it forces the blood thru the arteries.


Why does blood continue flowing through the arteries in between the beats of the heart?

the heart beats and the air pushes the blood


Does your pulse represent the pressure that blood exerts as it pushes the walls of a vein?

no, it represents the pressure exeted on the arteries


Why do blood flows in arteries in jerks?

Blood in arteries moves because of pressure of blood from the heart. Each time the heart pumps, it pushes the blood a little further. Veins do not rely on the heart to move blood. Veins have a system of valves to keep the blood from not moving backwards, and muscles contract the veins to move the blood.


When the right ventricle contracts where is blood push to?

When the right ventricle contracts it is pushes blood to the pulmonary arteries and to the capillaries of the lungs where exchange of gases takes place


Does blood pressure determine the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the arteries?

Yes it does.


Where do ventricular contractions of the heart push the blood?

The left ventricle of the heart pushes the blood into the arteries, and throughout the body. The artery that accepts the blood from the heart is the aorta.
