If veins didn't contain non-return valves, when the (largely) skeletal muscles that assist in venous return weren't contracted, the blood contained therein would tend to fall, under the force of gravity, and pool in the lower body. These one-way valves help to minimize this phenomenon. Failure of these valves is part of the reason older people and those who stand for long periods of time (cashiers, guards, etc.) tend to learn to sequentially contract (low to high) muscle groups--to facilitate the pumping action of skeletal muscles. It's also why many such people wear compressive garmets, usually leggings.

Do capillaries have non return valves?
No, capillaries do not have non-return valves. Non-return valves are found in veins to prevent blood from flowing backwards. Capillaries function to allow the exchange of nutrients and waste products between blood and tissues.
Can non integer numbers be part of the domain?
Yes, the domain represents all the x values on a graph. Since these x values can be non-integral numbers, the domain can contain non-integral numbers.

Is there a non-surgical way to remove varicose veins?
Varicose veins can only be removed through surgery. However, there are non-surgical options to treat varicose veins, decreasing discomfort and/or deterioration. These options include weight loss, elevating the legs, and wearing compression stockings. See http://www.doctorveins.com/varicose-veins/treatment-nonsurgical.shtml
How do you solve non-permissible replacements step by step?
To solve non-permissible replacements, first identify the values that make the denominator of a rational expression zero, as these are the non-permissible values. Next, rewrite the expression without these values and simplify it if possible. Finally, state the restrictions clearly, indicating the non-permissible values that should be excluded from the solution set. Always verify that your final answer does not include these non-permissible values.
