name the veins

  #4

Can you give the answer?

hemiazygous and azygous vein.

Its portocaval anastomosis...
portal v. connects with the vena caval drainage at 1) esophagus, 2) rectum, 3) umbilicus, 4) retroperitoneal gut structures; portal v. courses between two capillary beds (gut and liver)

  #6

In the liver this vein ramifies like an artery and ends in capillary-like vessels termed sinusoids, from which the blood is conveyed to the inferior vena cava by the hepatic veins.

  #7

my question was about collateral circulation ,if portal vein is obstructed in liver.

  #8

in esophagus, esophageal vein and left gastric vein
In rectum, superior rectal vein and middle/inferior rectal vein.
In unbilicus, paraumbilical vein and inferior epigastric vein.
