What is the difference between the PORTAL vein and the hepatic vein?

A

The portal vein lies in the porta hepatis and brings 75% of blood to the liver from the:

A

Spleen
GI tract
Pancreas
Gall bladder and ducts

75

At the periphery of the lobules, there are portal triads

77
Q

What is contained in the portal triads of the lobules in the liver and where are they branches from?

A

1) Arteriole - branch from the hepatic artery

3) Bile duct

78
Q

What are hepatocytes?

A

A

Shunt OXYGENATED blood from the left umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava to BYPASS the liver

Where can the ligamentum venosum be seen from?

What does it separate?

Secrete 99% exocrine (digestive enzymes - into the duct)

93
Q

What is the venous drainage of the kidneys?

Where do they empty?

A

94
Q

In the abdomen, where does the inferior vena cava lie in relation to the abdominal aorta?

A

Slightly behind and to the right
