Do capillaries have valves?

No, capillaries do not have valves like veins do. Valves are specialized structures found in veins, particularly in the veins of the extremities, such as the legs. These valves help prevent the backflow of blood and ensure that blood flows in one direction towards the heart. However, capillaries are tiny blood vessels responsible for the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and tissues. They are very small in diameter, typically only wide enough for one blood cell to pass through at a time, and they do not contain valves.
