Summary Introduction

To review:

The following:

1. Regulatory factors of venous return.

2. Relationship of venous return with end-diastole volume and stroke volume.

Introduction:

The backflow of blood to the heart through the veins is known as venous return. The stroke volume is described as the blood volume pumped by each ventricle per beat. This stroke volume depends on the end diastolic volume which can be described as the volume of the blood present in the ventricles after the end of the diastole.
