blood doesn't 'flow backwards - there are valves in the veins and arteries to stop that happening. Oxygenated blood is sent from the lungs, via the heart - to all parts of the body. When the oxygen has been used up by the cells, the blood returns to the hart through the veins.

Why is the blood going up to the heart does not flow backward because the veins that carry them have what?

Valves are present in veins to prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves help ensure that blood moves in only one direction toward the heart by closing when blood tries to flow in the wrong direction.


Do veins have valves that prevent the backward flow of blood when closed?

yes.. yes they do :)


Do smooth muscles prevent the backward flow of blood toward your heart?

No. Valves in the arteries are responsible for preventing back-flow of blood, not smooth muscles.


What blood vessels contain valves and why?

Only veins contain valves. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood.


What makes sure the blood does not go backward?

Blood is a constant whereabout in our bodies. As of such a frequent heartbeat exists within our system. Which causes the blood within our bodies to flow forward, in lamense terms it produces a very large push for the blood to distribute it's nutrients throughout the body and back within our heart and out again. This constant push is what prevents blood from flowing backwards in your veins.


What prevents blood in the cardiovascular system from going backward?

blood flows into the veins quiet slowly as they are much wider compared to the flow of blood in the arteries which are rather narrow.because of the low pressure of blood on the flow inside the veins there are great possibilities that the blood is likely to flow backwards which may cause complications in the flow of blood.to prevent this from happening the veins contain valves that stop the back flow of blood


How a variable inlet guide vanes operates?

Variable inlet guide vanes are typically found in axial compressors and turbines. They operate by adjusting the angle of the guide vanes to control the flow of air or gas entering the compressor or turbine. By changing the angle of the guide vanes, the system can optimize performance by altering the velocity and direction of the incoming fluid flow.
