Recalling that the above system matrix is the discretized version of the original (continuous) PDEs, this corresponds to the assembly of the bilinear form:

(v,K−1u)
−(divv,p)
−(q,divu)

  * Now, the top-left block M of the matrix operator is clear; We are
    multiplying two vector shape functions which leads to the so-called "mass
    matrix".
  * But the entry in the top-right block, B is not clear.  This is just a
    product of a scalar shape function and the negative divergence of a vector
    shape function. *How is this operator, the gradient?*

Integrate it by parts to obtain -(div v,p) = +(v, grad p)   :-)
