    Answer: the correct answer is C) the hepatic portal vein.

    Explanation:

    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.
