Question

Sort the route of blood in a hepatic portal system. (Top to Bottom)

• A. Vena cava
• B. Hepatic veins
• C. Portal vein
• D. Veins

Answer 1

The veins originating from the stomach and the intestines enter the liver and combine into a hepatic portal vein. It then divides into smaller capillaries which again join to form the hepatic veins. Hepatic veins empty the blood into the posterior vena cava.
