Answer:
The most appropriate answer would be "to ensure blood and lymph flow back to the heart".
Blood vessels (especially veins) and lymph vessels have bicuspid or two flapped valves in them.
Veins are the type of blood vessels which transport blood from the body to the heart.
The presence of valves in veins and lymph vessels prevent the backflow of the blood into the organs or muscles.
In addition, the muscles surrounding these deep veins also help in preventing the backflow and aid in forcing the blood towards the heart.
Thus, these valves ensure that the blood and lymph flow back to the heart.
