When imaging on the longitudinal plane at the level of the liver, inferior vena cava, pancreas, and gastroduodenal artery, which of the following enters the left lobe of the liver?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The portal vein is the correct answer because it is a major vein in the body that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver. This includes blood from the pancreas and spleen, and it enters the liver, including the left lobe, to allow for the detoxification and metabolism of substances ingested or produced by the body. The other options do not anatomically enter the liver.
