What is the function of valves in veins?

They ensure that the blood flows only in one direction (back toward the heart).


How do the valves within the veins of the arms and legs help blood return to the heart?

Muscular contraction in the extremities moves the blood through the veins, the valves only allow blood to move toward the heart.


Which vessels carry blood back toward the heart?

Veins carry blood back toward the heart. They have valves to prevent backflow and rely on muscle contractions and breathing to help push blood back to the heart.


Why is the blood going up to the heart does not flow backward because the veins that carry them have what?

Valves are present in veins to prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves help ensure that blood moves in only one direction toward the heart by closing when blood tries to flow in the wrong direction.


What returns blood to heart?

The veins return blood from the body back to the heart, then out of the heart to the lungs where it is oxygenated, then back to the heart and carried back out into the body by arteries. The blood in the veins is blue but is seen through you skin as a dark green.


What is the use of valves in the heart.?

The use of the valves in the heart is to have blood flow regularly through the heart. The valves pump blood out of the heart into the body.


What carries blood toward the heart from the lungs?

Arteries carry blood away from the heart and Veins carry blood back to the heart. When the heart contracts it pushes the blood out through one way valves. There are also little one way valves in the veins and arteries so that the blood will continue to flow in one direction.


Veins have cuplike?

Veins have cuplike valves that keep the blood from flowing backwards when the muscles are at rest. These valves open when the muscles contract to force blood back up toward the heart.


Do smooth muscles prevent the backward flow of blood toward your heart?

No. Valves in the arteries are responsible for preventing back-flow of blood, not smooth muscles.
