Why are the openings of auricles and ventricles are guarded by valves?
Valves are needed to prevent blood flowing backwards into the heart.
What prevents blood from flowing in veins?
veins contain valves that prevents blood flowing backwards between heartbeats.There are valves in the veins that stop the blood from flowing backwards.
What Valves inside the veins prevent blood from flowing from the heart?
The blood in veins is not under direct pressure from the heart. It has little valves inside to prevent blood from flowing backwards away from the heart. These valves inside the veins prevent the backflow of blood in veins. They encourage the one-directional flow of blood to the heart.

What kind of flaps in the heartstop blood from flowing the wrong way?
Valves - thin membranes found mostly in veins to prevent blood (flowing at relatively low pressures) from flowing backwards.
What do veins have to prevent blood from flowing backward?

How is blood stopped from flowing backwards in the heart?
Valves
What structure prevents blood from backing up?
