Blood moves at different speeds depending on the size of the blood vessel. In arteries, blood can flow at speeds of around 1-2 feet per second, while in capillaries, it slows down to allow for nutrient exchange. In veins, blood moves more slowly, around 1-10 millimeters per second.

Do the veins rely on any other body part to work?

yes. they are situated close to muscles, when the muscles contract and relax this causes the blood to flow through them. blood is low pressure through veins therefore does not move fast, it relies on the muscle movement to move the blood through them. the valves prevent backflow of the blood.
