The amount of venous vessel pressure causes the 'venous return' which maintains blood volume. This is driven by the efferent pathway of the sympathetic nervous system which causes the constriction of the blood vessels which pushes the red blood cells in the veins back to the heart (flow is one way due to valves in the veins).

Which fundamental force contributes to pressure in both water and the atmosphere?

The fundamental force that contributes to pressure in both water and the atmosphere is gravity. Gravity causes the weight of the water or air above a certain point to exert a force downwards, which leads to pressure at that point.

Is blood pressure the regular beat of blood flow?

Blood pressure is the force of your blood going through you body. Your systole number is the force of the blood coming from the heart, and the average number is 120. Your diastole is the force of the blood returning to the heart, and the average number is 80. Your systole number is higher than your diastole number because the heart has to beat greater in order to get the blood to the upper half of your body, which means it has to defy gravity. :)
