Portal Vein

Portal Vein is a short (approximately 8 cm long) vein that forms part of the portal system of the liver. This vein is formed by the confluence of the splenic vein, which drains blood from the spleen, stomach and pancreas; the superior and inferior mesenteric veins, which drain blood from the small and large intestines. In addition, the portal vein has a number of lateral tributaries (gallbladder, periumbilical, left and right gastric veins).

The portal vein carries blood from the spleen, stomach, intestines and pancreas to the liver. The liver filters and cleanses this blood from toxins and harmful substances that come from the gastrointestinal tract with food. The purified blood from the liver then enters the systemic circulation through the hepatic veins. Thus, the portal vein plays an important role in the liver portal system for blood detoxification.

The Portal Vein is a short vein that forms part of the portal system of the liver. It is formed by the confluence of several veins that drain blood from various abdominal organs, such as the spleen, stomach, pancreas, small and large intestine. The portal vein also has several lateral tributaries, such as the gall bladder, periumbilical and gastric veins.

The portal vein plays an important role in metabolism and is one of the main routes for nutrients and oxygen to reach the liver. Venous blood flowing from the abdominal and pelvic organs enters this vein and then returns to the heart through the hepatic veins.

In addition, the portal vein is a place for the formation of certain hormones and other biologically active substances. For example, it synthesizes vitamin B12 and cholesterol, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the body.

However, like any other vein, Portal Vein can be subject to various diseases such as thrombosis, varicose veins and others. If problems arise with this vein, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

The liver portal system is a vascular system that transports blood from the stomach, intestines, pancreas and spleen to the liver. One of its most important components is the Portal vein, which connects all these structures and ensures a continuous flow of blood from them to the liver.

The portal venous system is a short vein that forms part of this portal system. Its length is approximately 8 centimeters. It is formed from several blood sources, such as the Splenic vein, which drains blood from the spleen, stomach and pancreatic gland, and the Superior and Inferior mesenteric veins, which
