AB Blood  returning  to  the  left  or  right  side  of  the  heart  per  minute  is  called  the  venous  return.  The  cardiac  output  (CO)  supplies  systemic  tissues  with  the  oxygen  and  nutrients  required  for  those  tissues  to  perform  their  functions.  The  CO  is  called  venous  return  (VR)  when  it  is  making  its  way  back  to  the  right  side  of  the  heart  from  the  systemic  venous  circulation  (or  back  to  the  left  side  of  the  heart  from  the  pulmonary  venous  circulation).  Therefore,  the  CO  is  equal  to  VR  at  steady  state  and  increases  in  CO  are  matched  by  mechanisms  to  increase  VR  appropriately.
