- The liver is the first organ that comes into contact with enterally absorbed nutrients and xenobiotics via the portal vein. (aappublications.org)
- As such, the nutrients that are absorbed from these organs are transported to the liver via the hepatic portal system, where they are stored and processed. (wisegeek.com)
- Portal blood is passed through the hepatic lobules where nutrients and toxins are absorbed, excreted or converted. (biology-online.org)
Falciform ligament1
- The umbilical vein enters the abdomen at the umbilicus, and passes upward along the free margin of the falciform ligament of the liver to the inferior surface of the liver. (statemaster.com)
Splenic artery2
- Flow probes (size 1RB, Transonic Systems Inc) were placed around the splenic artery and vein. (ahajournals.org)
- With the aid of a surgical microscope, the splenic nerve bundle was located on the splenic artery and vein beneath the splenic lymph node. (ahajournals.org)
Portal venous5
- It is a major component of the hepatic portal system , one of only two portal venous systems in the body - with the hypophyseal portal system being the other. (wikipedia.org)
- Portal vein hypoplasia (PVH), also known as portal venous hypoplasia, hepatic microvascular dysplasia, portal microvascular dysplasia, non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, and hepatoportal fibrosis, is a circulatory anomaly of the liver in dogs and cats. (vin.com)
- The portal venous concentration averaged 76 percent, as compared to 49 percent in the femoral vein. (pubmedcentralcanada.ca)
- The composition of the portal venous and hepatic arterial blood supply differ. (uptodate.com)
- They rarely require treatment but can be associated with hepatic encephalopthy due to bypass of liver metabolism by portal venous blood. (radiopaedia.org)
Lobules1
- The large hepatic veins arise from smaller veins found within the liver, and ultimately from numerous central veins of the liver lobules. (wikipedia.org)
Colorectal liver metastases3
- Then we reviewed our results applying this approach in patients with colorectal liver metastases in contact with hepatic veins at the caval-confluence. (ovid.com)
- Methods A cohort of consecutive patients with colorectal liver metastases in contact with hepatic veins at the caval-confluence undergoing liver surgery was reviewed. (ovid.com)
- Results Overall 190 colorectal liver metastases-hepatic vein contacts in 135 patients were analyzed. (ovid.com)
Blood vessel2
- A 10-year-old girl has been given a vein transplant using a blood vessel grown from her own stem cells. (dailymail.co.uk)
- Doctors in Sweden have replaced a vital blocked blood vessel in a 10-year-old girl using the first vein grown in a lab from a patient's own stem cells. (foxnews.com)
Cases of hepatic1
- Hence, determining the future liver volume might misestimate the future liver function, especially in cases of hepatic comorbidities such as hepatic steatosis. (frontiersin.org)
Liver's2
- The doctor inserts the biopsy needle, covered in a thin, flexible sheath, through the jugular vein in the neck down into the liver's primary vein (hepatic vein) to access the liver. (medicinenet.com)
- In this type, the pulmonary veins join together behind the heart and then typically drain downwards, connecting to the liver's portal vein system. (cincinnatichildrens.org)
Umbilical veins1
- exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins , both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. (wikipedia.org)
Azygous vein2
- The azygous vein was also enlarged (see Figure 3 ). (scielo.org.za)
- The final diagnosis was an incidental right-sided Bochdalek hernia associated with interruption of the IVC with continuation via the azygous vein and hepatic venous collaterals into the right atrium. (scielo.org.za)
Lymph2
- Lymph is drained by the cystic lymph node and the hepatic lymph nodes, which drain into the celiac lymph nodes. (dummies.com)
- Lymph is drained by the pancreaticosplenic nodes and pyloric lymph nodes. (dummies.com)
Large hepatic1
- A 16-year-old male underwent transcatheter arterial embolization against a large hepatic tumor, and was subsequently scheduled for removal of the tumor. (biomedsearch.com)
Major hepatic1
- Major hepatic resections are currently being performed at numerous hepatobiliary centers worldwide, with operative mortality rates of less than 2% ( 1 , 2 ). (frontiersin.org)
Duodenum2
- Some of the bile drains directly into the duodenum and some is stored in the gall bladder. (wikibooks.org)
- The accessory pancreatic duct drains the uncinate process and opens up into the duodenum via the minor duodenal papilla. (dummies.com)
Patients with hepatic1
- The vast majority of patients with hepatic hydrothorax have end-stage liver disease. (medhelp.org)
Cystic duct1
- Bile passes via the hepatic and cystic duct to the gall-bladder, where it is concentrated by absorption of water. (videohelp.com)
Digestive5
- Since the liver serves the important function of filtering blood as it moves from the digestive tract, these veins are particularly important for overall health. (verywellhealth.com)
- The hepatic portal system consists of the numerous veins that drain blood away from digestive organs and deliver it to the liver. (vin.com)
- The hepatic portal vein (often portal vein for short) is a portal vein in the human body that drains blood from the digestive system and its associated glands. (biology-online.org)
- It makes perfect sense that longterm alcohol abuse would damage the liver - it's the front line for everything coming out of the gut, since the hepatic portal vein system drains whatever gets absorbed from the digestive system straight through the organ for first-pass sorting and processing. (sciencemag.org)
- During a TIPS procedure, interventional radiologists use image guidance to make a tunnel through the liver to connect the portal vein (the vein that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver) to one of the hepatic veins (three veins that carry blood away from the liver back to the heart).
