Vein Valve Animation
Animation shows how venous valves prevent the back flow of blood.
- small to medium-sized veins are characterised by the presence of valves.
- valves are formed by loose, pocket-shaped folds of the tunica intima.
- one to three pockets form the valve.
- Valves are absent in largest veins of the abdomen and thorax.
