Which of the following is TRUE about poal vein?
Correct Answer: All of the above
Description: Poal vein collects blood from the foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The poal vein is located deep to the hepatic aery and cystic duct and is formed by the union of the superior mesenteric vein and splenic vein, deep to the neck of the pancreas. Blood from poal vein transpoed to the hepatic sinusoids of the liver for filtration and detoxification. The hepatic sinusoids empty into the common central vein, which empties into the hepatic veins and ultimately drains into the inferior vena cava. Ref: Moon D.A., Foreman K.B., Albeine K.H. (2011).
