Yes. The following website posted an article from the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery that state there are Microscopic Venous Valves (MVVs) in many tissues of the body. http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=18141420

Do arterioles have valves?
No; arteries (and arterioles) depend on smooth muscle contraction, whereas veins (and venules) have valves.
Do valves in the heart let the blood travel in all directions?
No the way the valves of the heart are set up causes the blood to move in one direction only.
What carries blood to the venules?
Capillaries
Name one artery that contain valves?
veins have valves. y
What prevents back flow when the heart is relaxed?
Valves. There are four in the heart and the rest of the valves are dispersed throughout the body. They function as muscles around the blood vessel contract to move the blood.
Do arterioles have valves?
No; arteries (and arterioles) depend on smooth muscle contraction, whereas veins (and venules) have valves.
Are two or three-way valves necessary to prevent back flow of blood?
No, the valves that prevent backflow of blood are one-way valves.
Do the valves of veins keep blood flowing in one direction?
yes.it prevent the intermixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
How does a bicycle tube valve work?
Bicycle tube valves are one-way valves. They let air pass one way, then holds it in.
The flaps in veins that ensure one way flow of blood are called?
VALVES
Why do veins only have one way valves?
Veins have one way valves because the pressure in veins is lower than that in arteries, and the valves prevent backflow that could be caused by gravity or muscle flexure.
Do the four valves of the heart ensure one-way blood flow?
When they are working properly, the four valves of the heart ensure one-way blood flow. The atrioventricular valves prevent backflow into the atria, and the semilunar valves prevent backflow into the ventricles.
One-way valves are found in which blood vessels?
Veins. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood from tissues and organs back to the heart; they have thin walls and one-way valves.
Why are valves nessessary?
In the bodies blood system, they prevent back flow of the blood (one way valves) .
What do veins have to prevent blood from flowing backward?
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.
Where are one-way valves in the circulatory system located?
veins
Can you find oxygenated blood in venules?
The blood in venules of the systemic circulation is deoxygenated. The blood in pulmonary venules is oxygenated.
