Blood flows through the body with help from the heart. The heart pumps the same blood in the veins from the left leg to the right arm. The flow happens because of the steady pressure from the pumping heart.

A red blood cell traveling through an artery in your leg will first flow through the systemic circulation, moving from the capillaries in the leg into the larger veins, such as the femoral vein. It will then travel through the inferior vena cava, which carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body. The blood cell will return to the heart, entering the right atrium. From there, it will flow into the right ventricle before being pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.
