CCP Blood Vessel Review

The function of valves in the human circulatory system is to

• stimulate the heart beat.

• accelerate the flow of blood.

• prevent the backward flow of blood.

• serve as a cushion to prevent friction

If a blood vessel has valves, it is probably a(n)

• vein.

• artery.

• capillary

Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called

• veins.

• arteries.

• capillaries.

These carry blood to the heart:
