He can check how the blood is pushing through your veins

Boy: What's blood pressure?
Mom: You see these lines here.
Boy: Oh, yes.
Boy: There's lots of lines.
Mom: These are veins.
Boy: Veins!
Mom: Your veins are full of blood, and if the doctor
holds your arm like this, he can check how the blood
is pushing through your veins.

What does "the blood is pushing through your veins" mean?

Does it mean "the blood is passing through your veins"?


Thank you

A more medically accurate sentence would be if the doctor holds your arm like this, he can check how forcefully your heart is pushing the blood through your veins. Of course, mom could also start on the difference between veins and arteries. Clive
