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.
Blood pressure varies with changes in blood volume, TPR, and cardiac output, which are determined primarily by venous return and neural and hormonal controls. Short-term mechanisms include both (1) neural and (2) hormonal controls, which alter blood pressure by changing peripheral resistance and CO.
