Ralph is looking at a blood vessel under a microscope as part of his study about the cardiovascular system. He notices that the vessel contains blood and has valves. Determine the blood vessel being observed.

Vein because they have valves to prevent back flow of blood.

I think the correct answer for this would be the veins. Ralph is observing a vein since he notices that the vessel contains blood and which is the function of the veins - to carry blood around the body. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
