Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -On the right, the gonadal veins and suprarenal veins drain into the inferior vena cava directly. On the left, they drain into the renal vein which in turn drains into the inferior vena cava. By contrast, all the lumbar veins and hepatic veins usually drain directly into the inferior vena cava.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood from the abdominal viscera travels into the portal vein and enters the IVC via the hepatic veins after traversing the liver and its sinusoids. Venous blood from the abdominal wall reaches the IVC through lumbar veins.
Detailed explanation-3: -Deoxygenated blood leaves the kidneys via the right and left renal veins that run into to the inferior vena cava.
