Question 3 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology B

What do only veins contain that help with blood flow?

Answer
A
oxygenated blood
B
capillaries
C
small valves
D
muscle

Explanation

Veins contain small valves that keep blood from flowing backward as it travels toward the heart. These valves are especially important because blood in veins moves at relatively low pressure. So the correct choice is small valves; oxygenated blood is not exclusive to veins, and arteries also have muscle in their walls.
