Most veins have low-pressure circulation in them, which is why they have a series of backcheck valves to allow blood to flow in only one direction back towards the heart. It should be noted that commonly taken blood pressure readings are actually measuring arterial blood flow only (120/80), since venous pressure becomes very low closer towards the heart.
