Venous circulation. The arterial system moves oxygenated away from the heart to the rest of the body (as well as deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the lung). Blood moves mostly passively through the venous system, but muscular contractions in the legs help force blood upward (against gravity) to the heart when standing.
