Abstract
The femoral veins of 30 female rats of the Wistar lineage were studied using histological methods with the objective of determining whether they have valves. Histological analysis did not detect any endothelial projections or valve recesses that would suggest the presence of venous valves in this species of animal.

Resumo
As veias femorais de 30 ratas da linhagem Wistar foram estudadas por método histológico com objetivo de investigar a presença de válvulas. Na análise histológica não foram identificadas projeções do endotélio ou recessos valvares que poderiam sugerir a presença de válvulas venosas nessa espécie de animal.
