Wikipedia definition
2. Hepatic portal vein​This page is the redirect for portal vein. For a vein that connects two systems of capillary beds see portal venous system. The hepatic portal vein is not a true vein, because it does not conduct blood directly to the heart. It is a vessel in the abdominal cavity that drains blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to capillary beds in the liver.
