There are valves in veins to prevent backflow. The blood pressure in veins is relatively low and, particularly in the legs and arms, can tend to pool if allowed to backflow. In contrast, there is relatively high blood pressure in the arteries, which prevents the need for valves to control backflow.
Veins have valves which prevent backflow of blood which taken up from other parts of the body towards the heart this blood has low pressure so valves helps to provide the desired pressure to make the blood move but arteries do not have valves because they take blood away from the heart which provide necessary pressure to pump blood to other parts of the body.
The function of valves is to prevent backflow of blood. Arteries do not need them as the blood in them is being pumped out from the heart under pressure. The pressure itself prevents backflow. It is interesting to note that veins in the head and upper chest don't have valves either, because blood in them flows under gravity. On the other hand, blood in veins elsewhere would have a hard time reaching the heart again were it not for the valves because the heart is higher than them, and gravity wouldn't let it go up in one go.
The blood in veins is going 'up hill' - towards the heart and the valves stop it from going down and collecting at the end of the arms legs etc. The blood in veins is not directly under pressure like in the arteries.
Blood moves in arteries with the movement of skeletal muscle since it does not have a pump as that for arteries. Valves are there in arteries to avoid back flow of the blood. This is not required for artery since blood is pumped from heart.
so as to prevent back flow of impure blood in veins that's the main reason why veins have vlaves whereas arteries don't.
Semi-lunar valves are present in the veins to prevent back-flow of blood
valves in veins regulates the flow of blood in the direction of heart.
so you dont get back flow
The heart does not have doors, but it does have valves that could be thought of as doors. They consist of the semilunar valves (the pulmonary semilunar valve and the aortic semilunar valve). The other two are the atrioventricularvalves (tricuspid and bicuspid valves).
The valves located between the upper and lower chambers of the heart are known as the atrioventricular valves. On the right side, it is known as the tricuspid valve because it has three flaps. On the left side, it is known as the bicuspid or mitral valve because it has two flaps.
No, veins have the valves, arteries don't.
Nothing, it is only pressure that keeps blood moving in the right direction in arteries. Veins have valves that prevent backflow of blood, but arteries do not.
Atrioventricular valves ar the valves in the heart that lie between the atria and the ventricles. These valves stop the the blood from flowing back (in the wtong direction) from the ventricles into the atria. There are two atrioventricular valves, on the right is the Tricuspis and on the left is the Bicuspid or Mitral valve.
Veins, arteries or valves
No arteries have valves, only veins have valves to stop backflow.

the right ventricle ...
No arteries do not contain valves since there is enough pressure from the heart to force blood through these vessels without significant backflow between contractions.
No, veins have the valves, arteries don't.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins return blood to the heart.
makes two sounds, "lubb" when the valves between the atria and ventricles close, and "dupp" when the valves between the ventricles and the major arteries close
The atrioventricular valves are located between the atria and the ventricles. The semilunar valves are located between the ventricles and the arteries leaving the heart.
