How can blood flow from the legs to the heart?

Answer 1

Your heart pumps blood constantly. The blood is always moving through your arteries, veins, and capillaires. The arteries have muscle on their outside, which also squeezes blood. Veins do not have extra muscle, but they do have one-way valves inside them. These valves let blood go through in one direction as the heart pumps. Then, as the heart relaxes, the valves shut so that the blood doesn't slip backwards. In this way, the blood can move up from the feet back to the heart.

Answer 2

There are one way valves in your veins that prevent backflow. When your muscles in your leg are activated, they squeeze the blood up the vein towards the heart. This is sometimes called the skeletal-muscle-pump.

Answer 3

It is still called 'circulation,' as all blood sooner or later reaches the feet. However, if you are looking for a particular artery that services the blood down the leg into the feet, it is called the femoral artery. It services others called superficial and deep external pudendal, superficial epigastric, superficial circumflex iliac, profunda femoral and descending genicular arteries.
