What

[edit]

What does it mean when someone refers to a vein being "sluggish?" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.210.146.44 (talkcontribs) 14:45, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Hepatic portal vein - moving page?

[edit]

Does anyone have the power to move this page to hepatic portal vein? The hepatic is official, and is used to distinguish it from the concept of a portal vein in general. Mauvila 16:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Information does not match

[edit]

I realised that the portal venous system information does not match for the "Hepatic Portal Vein" page and the "hypopgysea portal system". One said that there is only 2 while the other stated 3. So which is the accurate one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lissa tan (talkcontribs) 10:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-- You misspelled. The page is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypophyseal_portal_system actually. - 2warped@gmail.com 66.41.250.223 (talk) 05:30, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Function of the portal vein

[edit]

How about say what it does? e.g. portal vein can carry glucose and amino acids, but fats can only be carried via the lymph? 129.180.166.53 (talk) 03:42, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Renal portal system contradiction

[edit]

Summary states

> It is a major component of the hepatic portal system, one of three portal venous systems in the human body; the others being the hypophyseal and renal portal systems.

But the first sentence in the linked "Renal portal system" article states

> A renal portal system is a portal venous system found in reptiles, and fish excluding hagfish and lampreys. It is not found in mammals.

Is there a renal portal system in the human body or not? 134.100.13.82 (talk) 09:59, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a renal portal system in the human body, but it is an arterial one and not a venous one, so the link to the renal portal system on this page is a wrong one. 185.45.22.133 (talk) 09:58, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
