Understand that your circularory system is like a highway that moves in circles and the blood has to flow in those "circles" to deliver it's cargo. Otherwise, things would be dropped off to the wrong customer.

∙ 6y agoBlood actually flows two ways:
1. away from the heart -- in the arteries
2. towards the heart -- in the veins
The blood that flows away from the heart is oxygenated blood. The blood that flows towards the heart is de-oxygenated blood

Why are valves present in veins but now in arteries?
valves are only present in veins to stop the blood to move backwards through the vein but in arteries the muscle puts alot of pressure on the blood which stops it from moving in the wrong direction
Does blood flow in One Direction?
because your arteries are being pumped on a same vessal. if you were to lay out all off those vessels, you would see its all one beg flow of blood.
What carries blood toward the heart from the lungs?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and Veins carry blood back to the heart. When the heart contracts it pushes the blood out through one way valves. There are also little one way valves in the veins and arteries so that the blood will continue to flow in one direction.
What does the vertebral arteries are patent codominant and demonstrates antegrade flow without evidence of stenosis mean?
This statement likely indicates that the vertebral arteries are open, with good blood flow traveling in the typical direction without any narrowing or blockages present. The term "codominant" suggests that both sides of the vertebral arteries are contributing equally to blood supply in the brain.
What happens to blood pressure as blood moves from arteries to veins?
Blood pressure decreases as blood moves from arteries to veins. For this reason, veins have valves to encourage the one-way flow of blood back to the heart.
Does blood only flow in one direction through the heart?
NO
BLOOD flow in one direction only inside the heart?
yes :)
What is in veins which make the blood cells flow in one direction?
Valves
What part of the heart that allows the blood to flow in one direction?
the valves
What is the major function of a valve in the heart?
Valves control the flow of blood. Without them blood could flow backwards.--------------------------Yes, true. Valve would maintain one way traffic for blood right from the heart and to outside parts of the body and form outside to the heart.
What opens and closes to control the flow of blood in a one-way direction through your heart?
Various valves keep the blood flowing in one direction.
What organ keeps blood flowing in one direction?
The heart is the organ that keeps the blood flowing. Valves in the heart ensure the flow is only in one direction.
