Why does blood flow in the direction it does?

Blood flows in one direction due to the presence of one-way valves in veins that prevent backflow. The pumping action of the heart pushes oxygenated blood through arteries to the tissues, while deoxygenated blood is returned to the heart through veins. This one-way flow ensures efficient circulation throughout the body.

What is the direction of blood flow?

Blood flows in one direction within the body, from the arteries to the capillaries, and then to the veins, which return blood back to the heart. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body's tissues through this circulatory system, ensuring that organs receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen.


How does your blood know which way to go?

Blood itself does not "know" anything: it is not conscious. The direction of blood flow is regulated by valves in blood vessels, and the blood moves because the heart pumps it around the body.
