Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Large intestine
Concept:

The splanchnic circulation is responsible for carrying blood away from the digestive organs to the liver via the hepatic portal system.

Formula:

N/A

Solution:

  • The inferior mesenteric vein specifically drains blood from the distal portions of the Large intestine (colon and rectum).
  • The superior mesenteric vein drains the small intestine and the proximal part of the large intestine.
  • Both ultimately converge to form the hepatic portal vein.


Why other options are incorrect:

The stomach is drained primarily by the gastric veins. The gallbladder is drained by the cystic vein. The liver is drained by the hepatic veins directly into the vena cava.
