Do veins have valves and arteries don't?
veins have valves because they bring blood from the bottom half of your body and valves stop the back flow of blood since the veins work against gravity.
What type of blood vessels contain valves?
The valves in the heart are: the tricuspid valve, which is called the right A-V valve, and is between the right atrium and the right ventricle, a bicuspid valve (Mitral valve), also called the left A-V valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle, the pulmonary valve, which is a semilunar valve, between the right ventricle and pulmonary trunk and the aortic valve, also a semilunar valve, between the left ventricle and aorta.
One-way valves are found in which blood vessels?
