Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike arteries, veins contain valves that ensure blood flows in only one direction. But, Arteries don’t require valves because pressure from the heart is so strong that blood is only able to flow in one direction. Valves also help blood travel back to the heart against the force of gravity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Veins comprise valves, which prevent the backward flow of the blood. The valves are bicuspid, that is, they comprise two flap-like compositions. In the veins, the valves ensure that the flow of blood takes place only in one direction. On the other hand, arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -Veins have valves which allow blood to flow only in one direction. Arteries do not have valves.
