Because the hydrostatic pressure in veins is so low, ventricular contraction plays little, if any, role in returning venous blood from capillaries to the heart. Describe the two "pumps" that play primary roles in the return of venous blood to the heart. [Hint: If you begin to run (using skeletal muscles) and breathe more rapidly (increasing respiratory system effort), both pumps return extra venous blood to the heart] 3. Explain the importance of the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus. What does each of these structures eventually become in an adult heart?
