Why does walking prevent stagnation of blood in the legs?
The venous circulation of the legs requires muscle contractions to assist with blood return. Walking helps provide this muscle contraction.
What assist in returning blood to the heart?
skeletal muscle contraction gravity respiratory activity valves
What keep the blood moving through the venous system?
Skeletal muscle movement and valves in the veins.
What organs have muscle tissue?
The circulatory system = the heart + the blood vessels. The heart is a muscle, but the muscle fibers are slightly different to skeletal muscle. Arteries has a thin layer of muscle cells that surround them so that they can constrict or expand the blood vessels in order to regulate blood pressure.

What part of a heart carries blood around the body?
The heart is a four-chambered muscle, whose sole task is to pump blood around the body.
Does arginine help build muscle?
Arginine is a type of amino acid. While it does not directly stimulate muscle growth, arginine helps to increase blood flow which can assist in workouts. Arginine also helps with healing injuries which is a factor in muscle growth.
Which depends on the skeltal muscle pump artery or vein?
Veins depend on the skeletal muscle pump to help move blood back to the heart. One-way valves in veins also assist in venous return.
Why does the heart have thick muscle?
Too pump blood around your body to keep you alive!
