yes.
they are situated close to muscles, when the muscles contract and relax this causes the blood to flow through them.
blood is low pressure through veins therefore does not move fast, it relies on the muscle movement to move the blood through them.
the valves prevent backflow of the blood.

Do body systems work together?
Body systems work together to keep the body healthy and the body systems are interdependent (they rely on each other).
Does the brain rely on an another part of the body?
Yes--the heart. The blood pumped from the heart provides the brain with vital oxygen.
What is the different between viens and arteries?
Veins take blood to the heart, while arteries take blood away from the heart. Also, veins have valves that don't allow backflow because their wall contains almost no smooth muscle to pump the blood - they cannot constrict and dilate on their own. Veins rely on the body's muscular movement to move the blood contained in them. Arteries, however, can constrict or dilate to diver blood flow to different parts of the body and to keep blood pressure relatively constant. They have a large smooth muscle component in their walls.
Is this true or false Arteries are thinner and harder than veins.?
False. Arteries are generally thicker and more muscular than veins, allowing them to withstand and regulate high blood pressure from the heart's pumping. Veins, on the other hand, have thinner walls and are more flexible, as they operate under lower pressure and rely on surrounding muscles and valves to help return blood to the heart.
What part of speech is rely?
The word relied is a verb. It is the past tense of rely.
Why do flys have no energy in winter?
Because Flys are Ectothermic. In other words, they rely on the outside environment to determine their body temperature.
Which vessels carry blood back toward the heart?
Veins carry blood back toward the heart. They have valves to prevent backflow and rely on muscle contractions and breathing to help push blood back to the heart.
What is the only part of cattle that sweats?
The only part of cattle that sweats is their nose. Cattle lack sweat glands on their skin, so they rely on panting and seeking shade to regulate their body temperature.
What is important the heart or the lungs?
