Return blood flow from the legs decreases during inspiration due to which of the following?
A. An increase in intra-abdominal pressure
B. A decrease in intra-abdominal pressure
C. An increase in right side heart pressure
D. A decrease in intra-thoracic pressure

An increase in intra-abdominal pressure

Venous blood flow in the extremities is affected by respiration. When one inspires the diaphragm moves down and increases intra-abdominal pressure. This increase in intra-abdominal pressure compresses and collapses the inferior vena cava in the abdomen, and venous outflow in the lower extremities is temporarily reduced.
