The venous system, or "veins" are responsible for bringing blood back from your peripheral body to the right side of the heart, where it is sent to the lungs for reoxygenation. Veins have one way valves that function to maintain a stable pressure in the venous system, while increasing the efficiency of the heart by preventing backflow of blood in between ventricular beats.
The general term for blood vessels leading back to the heart are veins. Blood in the veins is not being pushed by the action of the heart, as in the arteries.

Veins usually transport blood towards the heart.
Absolutely
There are valves in the heart - and the larger blood vessels that stop the blood flowing backwards.
No. The heart is one organ in itself. Veins and arteries are just vessels that transport blood to and from the heart. To be specific, the veins transport the blood towards the heart, and arteries transport it away.
There are four total valves in the heart. The Mitral and Tricuspid in the atria and ventricles The Aortic between the Aorta and left ventricle The Pulmonary between the Pulmonary artery and right ventricle

Veins usually transport blood towards the heart.
Yes. Blood vessels transport blood cells.
Capillaries do not have valves. Veins are the blood vessels with valves.
Veins are blood vessels that direct blood toward the heart.
Veins are blood vessels that direct blood toward the heart.
Only veins contain valves. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood.
Valves are in the veins.
The ventricles is the lower heart chambers not the blood vessels that direct blood toward the heart.
Blood vessels are involved in the circulatory system and they transport blood throughout the body.
The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels.
