The portal vein is formed behind the head of the
pancreas by the union of the SMV and the splenic
vein
2Veins that brach out from portal system
1. Portal vein
2. IMV
3. SMV
4. Splenic vein

5Tributaries of splenic vein
• Short gastric veins
• Left gastroepiploic vein
• Pancreatic vein (Dorsal pancreatic vein, Great pancreatic vein, Caudal pancreatic vein)
• IMV begins in the rectum as the superior rectal vein (Sigmoid veins and Left colic vein)
6Tributaries of the SMV
• Ileal and jejunal veins
• Ileocolic vein
• Right colic vein
• Middle colic vein
• Right gastroepiploic vein
• Pacreaticoduodenal vein
