GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The hepatic veins are large intraparenchymal veins which drain the liver into the inferior vena cava. They are usually three in number, named the right hepatic vein (RHV), middle hepatic vein (MHV) and left hepatic vein (LHV).

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood leaves the liver through the hepatic veins. This blood is a mixture of blood from the hepatic artery and from the portal vein. The hepatic veins carry blood to the inferior vena cava-the largest vein in the body-which then carries blood from the abdomen and lower parts of the body to the right side of the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The liver processes the nutrients in this blood and filters out toxic substances. The hepatic veins then carry the blood away from the liver and into the inferior vena cava, which leads to the right atrium, one of the four chambers of the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -In human anatomy, the hepatic veins are the veins that drain venous blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava (as opposed to the hepatic portal vein which conveys blood from the gastrointestinal organs to the liver ).

Detailed explanation-5: -The hepatic portal vein The portal vein thus drains blood from most of the gastrointestinal tract. Blood then traverses the liver in the hepatic sinusoids and empties into the central veins through which it reaches the inferior vena cava.
