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.
Venules form larger veins that serve as the primary capacitance vessels of the body - i.e., the site where most of the blood volume is found and where regional blood volume is regulated. For example, constriction of the veins decreases venous volume and increases venous pressure, which alters cardiac output.
