Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Hepatic portal vein
Concept:

The portal venous system directs blood from parts of the gastrointestinal tract to the liver.

Formula:

None

Solution:

  • The hepatic portal vein is responsible for carrying nutrient-rich, deoxygenated blood from the small intestine directly to the liver.


  • This allows the liver to process nutrients before the blood enters the general systemic circulation.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Hepatic artery: Carries oxygenated blood to the liver.


  • Hepatic vein: Carries deoxygenated blood away from the liver to the vena cava.
