a. they counteract low venous pressure, and prevent backflow of blood away from the heart - Venous valves are structures that are made of elastic tissue. The valves are there to ensure that the blood keeps moving in one direction. The veins use these valves to work against  the effects of gravity as well as low pressure with the veins.
