Arteries and veins have two different mechanism for maintaining circulation. Arteries are highly pressurized from the heart's ventricular contractions. Veins however are slower moving relying on the skeletal-muscle movement to help it along. Veins also have valves to control and keep flow in one direction.

Improve...
Every time your heart pumps, it pushes a little more blood out. This blood pushes all the other blood along. You're hearts very strong so the blood moves quite a bit, also depending on the amount of blood it pumps out. Then other blood returns to the heart, goes through it, back into the lungs to be oxygeniated - or however you put it - and then back into the body.
Hope this helps(:

∙ 10y agoit doesnt. because you blood never moves. that is why we can move as humans. As long as our blood stays frozen to the spot, we will be able to move. its a contradicting force. Your welcome.

Which type blood vessels does the blood flow to the heart in?
Veins.
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 blood vessels does the flow to the heart in?
veins
What type of vessels does the blood flow to the heart in?
veins
Which blood vessels allow blood to flow between the arteries and veins?
Capillaries.
Valves to help the direction of blood flow are found in which blood vessels?
Veins.
The vessel with valves that keep blood from flowing in the right direction?
Veins have valves to make sure that blood flows in only one direction.
What is the direction of blood flow in veins?
Blood vessels contract slightly to help the flow of blood As the heart beats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels, called the circulatory system. The vessels are elastic tubes that carry blood to every part of the body.
Is it true that with veins that the blood flows from small vessels into even smaller ones?
No. Veins are the portion of the circulatory system that is responsible for returning blood from the body to the heart. Thus blood flow in veins starts at the smallest capillary vessel and moves to larger vessels.
One-way valves are found in which blood vessels?
Veins. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from tissues and organs back to the heart; they have thin walls and one-way valves.
What blood vessels contain valves and why?
Only veins contain valves. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood.
What does circulatory system control?
The blood flow distributed through you heart, veins, vessels, and arteries.
