Where do venous valves channel blood?
They prevent back flow and help to return blood to the heart.
Do valves inside the veins prevent blood from flowing into the heart?
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.
What return blood to the heart?
Veins return blood to the heart.The pulmonary veins.
Which structures carry blood back to the heart?

The anterior and posterior what returns blood to the heart?
Not sure what you mean by "anterior and posterior", but veins return blood to the heart. I believe you are mistaken. the Superior and Inferior vena cava return blood to the heard.
What two things help the blood in veins return to the heart?
The blood in veins is at a lower pressure than it is in the arteries. The lower pressure makes for challenges getting that blood back to the heart. As there is less force (pressure) in the veins, blood would pool in the lower parts of the body if there were not mechanisms to prevent that. There are three different things that help blood get back to the heart. The three mechanisms are: venous valves, muscular pumps, and the respiratory pump.
Where do venous valves channel blood?
They prevent back flow and help to return blood to the heart.
What are the three mechanisms that assist in venous return?
Respiratory Pump mechanism- pressure changes occur in the thoracic and abdominal cavities during inspiration and expiration. This compresses veins and assists blood return to the heart.The muscle pump mechanism- muscular contractions compress the veins, squeezing blood back towards the heart. Pocket valves inside the veins prevent the back-flow of blood returning to the heart.
What blood vessels return blood to the heart?
