The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is valveless among arteries, veins, lymphatics, and chambers of the heart, we can analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Heart Chambers**: - The heart has chambers (atria and ventricles) that are separated by valves known as atrioventricular valves (e.g., bicuspid and tricuspid valves). - **Conclusion**: The chambers of the heart are not valveless. 2. **Analyzing Veins**: - Veins carry deoxygenated blood (with the exception of the pulmonary vein). - Blood in veins flows at lower pressure, which increases the risk of backflow. - To prevent this backflow, veins have valves. - **Conclusion**: Veins are not valveless. 3. **Examining Lymphatics**: - Lymphatic vessels also contain valves to prevent the backflow of lymph fluid. - **Conclusion**: Lymphatics are not valveless. 4. **Evaluating Arteries**: - Arteries carry oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery) and operate under high pressure. - Due to this high pressure, blood flows in one direction, eliminating the need for valves. - **Conclusion**: Arteries are valveless. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Arteries** as they are the only option that is valveless. ---
