    Mean blood pressure drops over the whole circulation, although most of the fall occurs along the small arteries and arterioles. [35] Gravity affects blood pressure via hydrostatic forces (e.g., during standing), and valves in veins, breathing, and pumping from contraction of skeletal muscles also influence blood pressure in veins.
