What is the function of valves in the vascular system?
1. They allow blood flow away from the heart and limit high blood pressure in tissues
2. They allow blood flow to those capillary beds that need the blood at that moment
3. They allow blood flow towards the heart in veins that lack significant blood pressure
4. They allow blood flow to the lungs when the blood lacks enough oxygen
