Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Femoral, sciatic, renal portal veins

The system which directs the blood from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver before entering the heart is known as the portal system. It starts and ends with the capillaries.

The portal system in the kidney is known as a renal portal system. It is formed by the union of femoral and sciatic nerve. It opens into the kidney by capillaries. Its function is to move blood from the renal glomeruli to the peritubular plexus that surround the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. Kidney removes the metabolic waste from the blood of the portal system.

So, the correct answer is option D.
