The Pressure Gradient, now this mechanisms work via the heart generating pressure even though the pressure is weaker in the veins than in the arteries it is still the most important force in the venous flow. Gravity, but only when you are sitting or standing anywhere above the heart simple gravity is at work in returning blood back to the heart, not to say that very thing isn’t still working…

    now in the right side of the heart, literally, the right atrium. The SA node’s action potential fires again and through the tricuspid valve we go. We’re now in the right ventricle. This one is roomy like the left so we have to wait with the AV node until the ventricle fills up some more. Finally! The AV bundle fires and we pump through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary trunk and out the pulmonary arteries. We are on our way back to the lungs now.
