Vessels carrying blood to the heart?
There are 2 or 3 methods for blood to return to the heart. The first method is by pressure. Enough pressure is generated in the heart to push the blood through the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, veins, and back into the heart. The right side of the heart only pumps blood into the lungs and back to the heart and requires less pressure than the left side that pumps to the rest of the body, although the volume must be identical for the two halves. The second method is a pumping method by muscle contraction. This is especially true of the calf muscles in the leg pumping the blood back to the heart. A third method would be gravity for anything above the heart, including the head, or any limb that was elevated. Elevation can be used to decrease pressure and help reduce swelling.

Is apical pulse measured by auscultation or palpation?
Apical pulse is typically measured by using auscultation, which involves listening to the heartbeat with a stethoscope placed over the apex of the heart.

Palpation can also be used to locate the apical pulse, but auscultation is more precise for determining the actual heartbeat.
