Venous return is affected by several factors including muscle contraction, respiratory activity and gravity. Decreased venous compliance and vena cava compression also influence venous return. Other factors include valve competence, heartbeat, intrapericardial pressure, blood volume and degree of filling systematic circulation.
Venous blood is typically colder than arterial blood, and has a lower oxygen content and pH. It also has lower concentrations of glucose and other nutrients, and has higher concentrations of urea and other waste products. The difference in the oxygen content of arterial blood and venous blood is known as the arteriovenous oxygen difference.
