What do many limb veins contain?
AVaults
BVents

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Valves
1. Venous pressure is low, so backflow is a risk.
2. A structure enforces one way flow.
3. Many veins, particularly those of the limbs, contain valves that assist unidirectional flow toward the heart.
4. So the answer is valves.
