The basics: Your heart pushes blood through arteries. The further away from the heart the less pressure. Veins are used to transport waste and 02 poor blood back to the heart. This is through some pressure from the heart but generally skeletal muscle contraction. Especially in the legs when walking. As the blood moves up, there are little one way valves to keep the blood from flowing backwards. The last factor in moving the blood is gravity. Like blood returning to the heart from your head.
