The return of blood from other parts of the pelvic and abdominal cavities does not go through the hepatic portal system but enters the inferior vena cava. The renal veins take blood from the kidneys to the inferior vena cava. The gonadal veins take blood from the testes or the ovaries. The left gonadal vein enters the left renal vein while the right gonadal vein enters the inferior vena cava. The intercostal veins take blood to the hemiazygos and the azygos veins.
