why does respiration affect venous flow? - ✔✔- the venous system is low pressure
- muscles responsible for respiration alter pressures in the thorax and the abdomen
breathing affects what two venous flows? - ✔✔- in the legs
- venous return to the heart (which comprises venous flow from the head, arms, and flow from the IVC
to the heart)

✔✔increases; decreases
venous flow in the legs correlates with movement of the diaphragm. Downward movement of the
diaphragm (inspiration) _______ venous flow in the legs. Upward movement of the diaphragm
(expiration) ________ venous flow in the legs. - ✔✔decreases; increases
changes in venous return to the heart are ________ to those of venous flow in the legs - ✔✔opposite

relates to the tendency of a fluid to resist changes in velocity - ✔✔inertia
inertial energy loss occurs during three events: - ✔✔pulsatile flow, phasic flow, and velocity changes at a
*stenosis*
