The valves in the veins
The ileocecal valve prevents the back flow of fecal material from the colon to the small intestine. The ileocecal valve is positioned at the far end of the small intestine.
In the heart/arteries, the Aortic valve prevents blood from flowing backwards. In the systemic veins, eustachean valves prevent the backwards flow of blood.
veins are responsible for bringing blood back to the heart.
The flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is called the pulmonary circulation.The blood flowing from the heart to the lungs would be deoxygenated and blood flowing towards the heart from the lungs would be oxygenated.
The valves in the veins
It is to allow the blood to flow in one direction - towards the heart, it prevents back flow.
prevents back flow
veins have valves that prevent back flow, and I believe the pressure within circulatory system prevents back flow.
The ileocecal valve prevents the back flow of fecal material from the colon to the small intestine. The ileocecal valve is positioned at the far end of the small intestine.
epiglottis
The pulmonary semilunar valve is a heart valve that separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery. It functions to prevent the backflow of blood from the pulmonary artery back into the right ventricle during the heart's pumping cycle.
The flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is called pulmonary circulation.
Tiny valves in your veins keep blood from backing up. The pumping force of your heart keeps the blood flowing forward. If a valve in your leg stops working properly, the blood seeping back causes varicose veins mainly in your legs, though can occur anywhere.
The pulmonary valve is a semilunar valve that prevents the back flow of blood back from the lungs to the right ventricle.
ileocecal valve
it just goes back
