Answer 1

The correct option is C D is the hepatic portal portal vein and F is the hepatic vein.

The hepatic portal vein is a vessel that moves blood from the spleen and gastrointestinal tract to the liver's capillary beds. Its functions are to supply metabolic substrates to the liver and to maintain that ingested substances are first processed by the liver before entering normal circulation. Hepatic veins are blood vessels which transport the liver's deoxygenated blood to the inferior vena cava. The hepatic veins originate in the liver lobule's central vein.
