Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both heart and venous valves prevent the backward flow of blood. The heart valves, such as the aortic and mitral valves, ensure that the blood flows in one direction, from the atria to the ventricles, and then to the rest of the body. Similarly, the venous valves, such as the ones in the veins of the legs, ensure that the blood flows towards the heart and prevents it from flowing backwards due to gravity.
