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.


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.

How many valves are there in artery?

Arteries are valve-less vessels, meaning there are no valves.


Why are valves not present in arteries?

valves are not present in arteries because in arteries there is high blood pressure


Is your arteries have valves to prevent the blood from flowing backwards?

Arteries do not have valves like veins do. The primary function of arteries is to carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart under high pressure, which helps maintain unidirectional flow. Instead of valves, the high pressure generated by the heart's contractions and the elasticity of arterial walls help ensure that blood moves forward. In contrast, veins contain valves to prevent backflow, especially in areas where blood must travel against gravity.
