The portal vein or hepatic portal vein HPV is a blood vessel that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract , gallbladder , pancreas and spleen to the liver. This blood contains nutrients and toxins extracted from digested contents. The blood leaves the liver to the heart in the hepatic veins. The portal vein is not a true vein , because it conducts blood to capillary beds in the liver and not directly to the heart. It is a major component of the hepatic portal system , one of only two portal venous systems in the body — with the hypophyseal portal system being the other. The portal vein is usually formed by the confluence of the superior mesenteric , splenic veins , inferior mesenteric , left , right gastric veins and the pancreatic vein. Conditions involving the portal vein cause considerable illness and death.
