Portal Vein and portocaval Anastomosis. Anatomy of portal vein, tributaries, branches and course, formations and relations. Anatomy of portal vein and adjacent structures, their relation to liver and intestine, relation to IVC and Aorta, clinical and applied anatomy for both undergraduates and postgraduates. portal hypertension is an increase in blood pressure, however, rather than being systematic, it's localized to the portal system. Portal hypertension is most commonly caused by liver cirrhosis which in itself can be caused by alcoholism or other liver disease. It can also be caused by blood clots in the portal vein and schistosomiasis amongst other things. This increase in blood pressure can affect areas of anastomosis between the portal vasculature which we just discussed and the caval musculature which are classified as the vessels not relating to the portal system resulting in pressure pushing larger blood volumes into these anastomotic areas. This in turn can cause the vessels to dilate and form varicose veins which can result in potentially fatal hemorrhage. Some of these important porto-caval anastomotic areas are listed below – the first vein being the portal vein and the second vein being the caval vein – the superior rectal and inferior rectal veins, the left gastric and esophageal veins, the colonic veins and the retroperitoneal veins and the para-umbilical and epigastric veins.
In severe cases, the last anastomosis mentioned between the para-umbilical veins which are the small veins that run within the round ligament of the liver and the epigastric veins which are found in the anterior abdominal wall can form large dilations. These dilations can form the clinical presentation caput medusa or the head of the medusa as the dilated veins look like the snakes of the head of the medusa or Gorgon from Greek mythology. In this image on the right, we can only see the beginnings of a presentation of the caput medusa as in a true caput medusa, the veins would be raised and enlarged.
Hello everyone! This is Nicole from Kenhub, and today we're going to talk about the hepatic portal vein.
We are going to discuss the hepatic portal vein and to do so we'll be using this image here which is a ventral view of the portal hepatic vein with the central portion of the liver cut out so we can see the portal vein and other portal vessels. You can also see the aorta just here as well as the inferior vena cava just posterior to the portal hepatic vein. The portal venous system is an important system that has its own unique flow and we'll talk about how this works in tandem with the venous system in the coming slides.
The portal vein is one of the most important vessels in the body.
Its main functions are to direct blood to the liver from the gastrointestinal tract and receive nutrient rich blood from the intestines.
The portal hepatic vein also receives blood from the spleen, the pancreas and the gallbladder which are channels within the vessel.

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
1. • Introduction:
• The portal vein is a major blood vessel that carries blood from
1. The abdominal part of the alimentary tract
2. The gallbladder
3. The pancreas
4. The spleen, and conveys it to the liver. In the liver, the portal vein breaks up into sinusoids
which are drained by the hepatic veins to the inferior vena cava.
It is called the portal vein because its main tributary, the superior mesenteric vein, begins in
one set of capillaries (in the gut) and the portal vein ends in another set of capillaries in the
liver.
2. Formation:
The portal vein is about 8 cm long. It is formed by
the union of the superior mesenteric and splenic
veins behind the neck of the pancreas at the level
of second lumbar vertebra. Inferior mesenteric
vein drains into splenic vein.
3. Course:
It runs upwards and a little to the right, first behind the neck of
the pancreas, next behind the first part of the duodenum, and
lastly in the right free margin of the lesser omentum.
The blood flow in portal vein is slow. Blood of superior
mesenteric vein drains into right lobe. Blood of splenic and
inferior mesenteric vein drains into left lobe.This is called
‘streamline flow’.The portal vein can thus be divided into
infraduodenal, retroduodenal and supraduodenal par
Termination:
The vein ends at the right end of the porta hepatis by dividing into
right and left branches which enter the liver.
4. Relations:
Infraduodenal Part
• Anteriorly:
Neck of pancreas.
• Posteriorly:
Inferior vena cava
Retroduodenal Part
• Anteriorly:
First part of duodenum
Bile duct
Gastroduodenal artery.
• Posteriorly:
Inferior vena cava
5. Supraduodenal Part
• Anteriorly:
Hepatic artery
Bile duct (within free margin of the lesser omentum).
• Posteriorly:
Inferior vena cava, separated by epiploic foramen
IntrahepaticCourse
After entering the liver, each branch divides and
redivides along with the hepatic artery to end ultimately
in the hepatic sinusoids, where the portal venous blood
mixes with the hepatic arterial blood.
6. Branches:
The right branch is shorter and wider than the
left
branch. After receiving the cystic vein, it enters the
right lobe of the liver.
The left branch is longer and narrower than the
right
branch. It traverses the porta hepatis from its right
end to the left end, and furnishes branches to the
caudate and quadrate lobes. Just before entering
the
left lobe of the liver, it receives during foetal life:
A. Paraumbilical veins along the ligamentum teres.
B. Ductus venosus along ligamentum venosum.
7. Tributaries:
Portal vein receives the following veins.
1. Left gastric
2. Right gastric
3. Superior pancreaticoduodenal
4. Cystic vein in its right branch
5. Paraumbilical veins in its left branch
The left gastric vein accompanies the corresponding
artery. At the cardiac end of the stomach, it receives a
few oesophageal veins.The right gastric vein
accompanies the corresponding artery. It receives the prepyloric vein.
The paraumbilical veins are small veins that run in the falciform ligament,
along the ligamentum teres, and establish anastomoses between the veins
of the anterior abdominal wall present around the umbilicus and the portal
vein.
8. DEVELOPMENT:
Portal vein develops from the following sources.
1. Infraduodenal part, from a part of the left vitelline vein distal to the dorsal
anastomosis.
2. Retroduodenal part, from the dorsal anastomosis between the two vitelline veins.
3. Supraduodenal part, from the cranial part of the right vitelline vein.
