The valves in the heart are: the tricuspid valve, which is called the right A-V valve, and is between the right atrium and the right ventricle, a bicuspid valve (Mitral valve), also called the left A-V valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle, the pulmonary valve, which is a semilunar valve, between the right ventricle and pulmonary trunk and the aortic valve, also a semilunar valve, between the left ventricle and aorta.
Many veins, particularly those in the upper and lower limbs, have flaplike valves, which project inward from their linings. Valves areusuallycomposed of two leaflets that close if blood begins to backup in the vein. These valves aid in returning blood to the heart, but close if it is in the opposite direction.
Arteries do not contain valves
Capillaries contain precapillary sphincters, which may close a capillary by contracting or open it by relaxing. A precapillary sphincter responds to the demands of the cells the capillary supplies.

What kind of muscle tissue would you find in the blood vessels?
Arteries have smooth muscle in their walls. The smaller the artery is, the less muscle is found. Veins have none, they count on the skeltal muscles to move blood back to the heart. The veins also have valves which prevent back flow.
Which type of blood vessels flow contaminated blood to the heart?
the type of blood vessels which flow contaminated blood to the heart are known as VEINS
What type of muscle is associated with blood vessels?
The smooth muscle type is associated with blood vessels. This muscle type is involuntary.
What type of blood vessels carries blood and to the cells?
Canary blod vessels
What type of blood vessels surrounds the alveoli?
The smallest blood vessels of the body = capillaries
