Why are valves found between the chambers in the heart and veins throughout the body but not in arteries?
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.

What valve is located between both ventricles and arteries?
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.
What act as doors between the chambers of your heart?
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).
Do the larger arteries contain valves to prevent the back flow of blood?
No, veins have the valves, arteries don't.
What do arteries contain that prevent the back flow of blood?
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.
What are artrioventricles?
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.
What are the chambers connected by?
Veins, arteries or valves
What is the innermost layer of the heart that lines its inner chambers valves and is continuous with the innermost layer of the arteries veins and capillaries of the body?
The innermost layer of the heart is called the endocardium. It lines the heart's inner chambers and valves, providing a smooth surface for blood flow. The endocardium is continuous with the endothelial lining of blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, facilitating seamless circulation throughout the body.
Do the arteries of limbs has valves?
No arteries have valves, only veins have valves to stop backflow.

Arteries contain valves that do what?
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.
Do the larger arteries contain valves to prevent the back flow of blood?
No, veins have the valves, arteries don't.
What is the major difference between arteries and veins?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins return blood to the heart.
How does a normal heartbeat sound?
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
How can you distinguish between an atrioventicular valve and a semivunar valve in the heart?
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.
