Vitelline veins the developing liver and broken up by it into a plexus of small capillary-like vessels termed sinusoids. The vitelline veins give rise to Inferior mesenteric vein, Ciliac trunk The branches conveying the blood to the plexus are named the venae advehentes, and become the branches of the portal vein. The vessels draining the plexus into the sinus venosus are termed the venae revehentes, and form the future hepatic veins. Ultimately the left vena revehens no longer communicates directly with the sinus venosus, but opens into the right vena revehens. The persistent part of the upper venous ring, above the opening
Lumbar veins lumbar veins on the left pass behind the abdominal aorta to reach the inferior vena cava and "all" lie behind the sympathetic trunks. The iliolumbar veins join the common iliac veins. Lumbar veins The lumbar veins are veins running along the inside of the posterior abdominal wall. They are the lumbar equivalent of the posterior intercostal veins. They are four in number and accompany the four lumbar arteries, with the vein lying superior to the artery (the same arrangement as in the intercostal neurovascular bundles). The first and second lumbar veins usually join the ascending lumbar vein rather than the
