It's the muscular activity of the leg that allows the blood to flow upwards against gravity in the deep veins.

During contract of muscles, blood is prevented from doing what in the veins?

From flowing from deep back to superficial by valves in the perforating veins.

What causes varicose veins and in what veins are usually found?

Varicose veins occur when the valves of the veins get damaged and this usually happens in the small saphenous veins or the saphenous vein.
