Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Portal. Veins returning from the gut join to form the portal vein. The portal vein enters the liver, carrying nutrients from the gut. Within the liver the portal vein ultimately ends as a capillary bed; at this level, nutrients are exchanged for storage and processing. The portal capillaries are drained by hepatic veins, which leave the liver to enter the inferior vena cava.
