Nothing, it is only pressure that keeps blood moving in the right direction in arteries. Veins have valves that prevent backflow of blood, but arteries do not.
Do the larger arteries contain valves to prevent the back flow of blood?
No, veins have the valves, arteries don't.
What is the function of the valves?
Valves prevent blood from going backward.Valves in general open to allow or close to prevent liquid flow. Heart valves opens to let blood into the heart then close to keep it there so that when the heart muscle contracts and squeezes the blood it is then forced out into the arteries of the body.
Does blood ever flow backwards in the heart?
