Question

Where does right and left branches of portal vein go?

Answer 1

Occasionally, the portal vein also directly communicates with the inferior mesenteric vein, although this is highly variable. Other tributaries of the portal vein include the cystic and the left and right gastric veins. Immediately before reaching the liver, the portal vein divides into right and left.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Immediately before reaching the liver, the portal vein divides into right and left. It ramifies further, forming smaller venous branches and ultimately portal venules.
