The blood in veins is not under direct pressure from the heart. It has little valves inside to prevent blood from flowing backwards away from the heart. These valves inside the veins prevent the backflow of blood in veins. They encourage the one-directional flow of blood to the heart.
The valves of the heart prevent backflow of blood during heart contraction.
Valves are needed to prevent blood flowing backwards into the heart.
Valves prevent the backflow of blood, in this case the semilunar valves stop blood flowing back into the heart.
There are two ways that blood is kept flowing in the same direction. The heart is pumping it in that direction, and blood vessels contain valves which prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction.
The heart valves open when blood is flowing through. They close to prevent backflow.
There are semi-lunar valves in the human heart: the aortic valve and the pulmonary valve. They prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles.
Valves in the veins prevent the blood from flowing backward or from pooling.

Heart valves help prevent blood from flowing backwards through the chambers of the heart. They open only one way to allow blood to flow through to the next chamber, and close against flow of blood from the other directon.

Veins have valves which stop the blood from flowing backwards
valves help prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction by opening and closing at the right time to let the heart pump blood effectively.
veins have valves in them that prevent backflow
One-way valves prevent the back flow of bloodThere are tiny one way valves throughout a vein. These stop blood from flowing backwards. Interestingly, when these valves in veins in the legs malfunction, the result are varicose veins.
