What are the three veins that form and empty the hepatic portal vein?

∙ 13y ago
The hepatic portal vein is created by the anastamoses between the superior mesenteric vein and spleinc vein. It is arguable that the inferior mesenteric vein joins at this same anastomoses but generally it actually joins the splenic vein which then meats the sup. mesenteric vein as stated above. The veins that drain into the portal vein (ie above the ansastmoses between the splenic and sup. mesenteric) are the cystic vein, the right gastric vein and the posterior-superior part of the pancreaticoduodenal vein.

Three major blood vessels that join to from the hepatic portal vein?

The gastric vein, which drains the lesser curvature of the stomach, empties directly into the hepatic portal vein.The hepatic portal vein is formed by the union of (a) the splenic vein, which drains the spleen, part of the pancreas, and the stomach & (b) superior mesentic vein, which drains the small intestine and transverse colon. The left gastric vein, which drains the lesser curve of the stomach, empties directly into the hepatic portal vein.
