NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscles also play a key role in the movement of blood around the body. Veins embedded within a muscle are compressed during contraction of that muscle, causing an increase in blood pressure due to the presence of one-way valves within the veins. This increase in pressure drives the blood towards the heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition, veins are structurally different than arteries in that veins have valves to prevent the backflow of blood. Because veins have to work against gravity to get blood back to the heart, contraction of skeletal muscle assists with the flow of blood back to the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vascular inflow to skeletal muscles is provided by primary arteries, which represent the last branches of the arterial supply that arise before entry into the tissue (Figure 1) [32, 58, 602].
