Why is the renal portal system absent in humans?
Humans have a hepatic portal system that brings all the venous flow from the digestive system into the liver. Reptiles have a renal portal system, which brings blood from internal organs to their kidneys, mostly because their digestive tract and urinary tract only have the cloaca to eliminate waste from their body. Since humans have separate systems for eliminating waste, the anus and urethra, the human body, like all other mammals, developed a hepatic portal system.
What are the PORTAL systems in the human body?
Portals systems in the human body refer to blood vessels that allow for the transport of blood between two different organ systems before returning to the heart. The hepatic portal system, for example, carries nutrient-rich blood from the digestive system to the liver for processing.
What is the organ in portal circulation?
The liver is the main organ in portal circulation. It receives blood from the digestive organs through the portal vein, allowing it to process nutrients, detoxify harmful substances, and regulate glucose levels before the blood returns to the heart.
What is the function of the hepatic portal circulation?
Portal circulation involves the liver, and the portal vein (unlike most organs, where an artery carries blood TO the organ) carries blood TO the liver from the intestines. The liver helps to process nutrients, and enzymatically convert medication and drugs into both active and inactive by-products. The largest vessel in this system is the portal vein, followed by the hepatic veins, which carry blood from the liver to the inferior vena cava and back to the heart. The function of the hepatic portal circulation is to : collect absorbed nurtients for metabolic processing or storage.
Explain what is portal circulation?
portal circulation refers to the circulation of the blood from the small intestine to the liver, via the portal vein. Blood flow to the liver is unique in that it receives oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood. Blood passes from branches of the portal vein through cavities between "plates" of hepetocytes called sinusoids. Blood also flows from branches of the hepatic artery and mixes into the sinusoids to supply the hepatocytes with oxygen. This mixture percolates through the sinusoids and collects in a central vein which drain into the hepatic vein. The hepatic vein subsequently drains into the inferior vena cava. =)

What is the difference between renal and hepatic circulation?
Renal circulation, receiving about 20% of cardiac output, branches from the abdominal aorta and returns to the ascending vena cava. Hepatic circulation is the system of veins made of the hepatic portal vein and its tributaries.
How does blood flow to renal and fortal circulation?
Blood flows to the renal circulation through the renal artery, which branches off the abdominal aorta. Once in the kidneys, blood is filtered and waste products are removed. Portal circulation transports blood from the digestive organs to the liver through the hepatic portal vein. In the liver, nutrients are processed and toxins are removed before the blood is distributed to the rest of the body.
Where is the location of the interlobar vein?
interlobar arteries are vessels of the renal circulation which supply the renal lobes: interlobar veins are veins of the renal circulation which drain the renal lobes.
In what way is a portal circulation a strange circulation?
The portal circulation is a "strange" circulation because it consists of veins draining into capillaries, which drain into veins again.

What is a portal circuit and a renal circuit?
A portal circuit is found in the cardiovascular system. A renal circuit is found in the kidneys. Both are fond in the arteries in either organ
Can anyone explain the renal circulation?
Renal circulation refers to the circulation of the blood through the kidney vessels. It is also called as the renal blood flow.
What is the cure for portal hypertension?
distal splenal renal shunt
Is hypertension and portal hypertension the same?
No. Portal Hypertension is specific hypertension in the portal system while general hypertension is the primary hypertension. Portal hypertension happens when there is high pressure in the portal circulation or the circulation in the Liver and lower body organs.
What are the three major branches of the systemic circulation?
The systemic circulation includes three parts. The coronary circulation, the hepaticportal circulation and the renal circulation
