Question

The unlabeled structure (marked by the red arrow), would in fetal life

(A) transport deoxygenated blood from the liver tissue to the inferior vena cava
(B) transport nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood from the placenta to the inferior vena cava
(C) transport nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood from the liver tissue to ther inferior vena cava
(D) transport deoxygenated blood from the placenta to the inferior vena cava
The image depicts a detailed anatomical illustration of the liver with emphasis on certain veins. It highlights the following components:

1. **Right Portal Vein**: Positioned towards the left side of the image, the right portal vein is shown in the context of the liver's vascular structure.

2. **Left Hepatic Vein**: Indicated with a red arrow, this vein is a critical vessel responsible for draining deoxygenated blood from the liver to the heart.

3. **Inferior Vena Cava**: Represented in the image as a large blue structure. It is one of the body's largest veins, carrying deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body back to the heart.

The illustration seems to display a surgical or anatomical examination setting, where certain vessels may be manipulated or highlighted for educational purposes. The hand in the image suggests a focus on understanding the spatial relations of these vessels during procedures involving the liver.
