The liver has a portal vein as well as a hepatic vein. It also has unique exchange blood vessels
similar to capillaries, called “sinusoids.” How do these unique structures determine the function
of the organ?
Solution
Hepatic veins:
Hepatic veins are arisen in the liver lobule\'s central vein. Valves are absent in Hepatic veins.
These vessels can transports deoxygenated blood of liver and blood which has been filtered by
the liver (this is blood from the pancreas, colon, small intestine, and stomach) to the inferior vena
cava.
Hepatic portal vein:
The hepatic portal vein is one of the most important vein that originates from a networks in the
stomach, pancreas, intestines and spleen. this vessel can carry blood from these organs through
the hepatic portal vein to the liver. In the liver this blood enters into a capillary-like hepatic
sinusoids called as hepatic portal system. Later this blood passes through the portal veins of the
liver, blood is carried through a series of merging vessels into the hepatic veins. These empty
into the inferior vena cava.
Sinusoids:
These are capillary like vessels. In the digestive system, they\'re found near the liver and blood is
conveyed via the sinusoids to the inferior vena cava by the hepatic veins.
Sinusoid pathways, or sinusoidal pathways:
This pathway describes the hepatic portal system. From the organs (stomach, intestines,
pancreas, and spleen) and blood moves through the hepatic portal vein to the capillary like
hepatic sinusoids, which together are called the hepatic portal system. From the sinusoid
pathways, blood is transported by the hepatic veins back to the inferior vena cava..
