The contraction of muscles and one-way valves in the veins help facilitate the flow of blood through the veins.
Gravity plays a significant role in pulling blood towards the lower part of the body. When we are standing or sitting, gravity helps to move the blood downwards through the veins. The veins in the legs also have one-way valves that prevent the backflow of blood, aiding in the circulation process.
Muscle contraction acts as a pump to push blood through the veins, while valves prevent backflow. Gravity also assists in returning blood to the heart when standing upright. Lastly, breathing helps create pressure changes that aid in venous return.
The heart pumps blood through blood vessels. Blood vessels leaving the heart are called arteries, and the blood vessels returning to the heart are called veins. Connecting the arteries and veins are smaller blood vessels called capillaries.It's pumped around through tubes called veins and arteries by the heart.The circulatory system is basically a closed network of tubes. The heart muscles contract, which squeezes blood into the arteries. There are valves in arteries and veins to stop the blood flowing 'backwards' - and so, with each heartbeat, the blood is forced forwards through the circulatory system before returning to the heart to start again.
From the capillary bed, deoxygenated blood travels to the meta-venuoles to the venuoles to the veins, mostly by skeletal muscles acting as secondary pumps and valves preventing backflow. Deoxygenated blood enters the right side of the heart via the vena cava, into the right atria, right ventricle, and then to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries.
No, it is not true that our blood is blue in our veins. Blood is always red, but it can appear blue when seen through the skin because of the way light interacts with our blood vessels.

No. Only the heart pumps blood. The eyeball, however, does receive blood through veins and blood vessels. Hope this helps!
Veins move blood through the body. They begin with the letter v.
Veins have valves in them which help transport the blood.
The actions or forces that allow blood in the veins to return to the heart is that the blood in the veins is moving through the veins at a lower pressure, so the valves and muscular pumps withing the body help the blood circulate back to the heart.
