Valves within the veins are responsible for preventing blood from flowing back to the heart. These one-way valves ensure that blood, which is under lower pressure in the veins, moves toward the heart and does not reverse direction. They are especially important in the legs, where gravity can impede blood flow back to the heart. Additionally, the contraction of surrounding muscles helps propel blood forward, further assisting the valves in their function.
