a Anatomy of rabbit liver. b Direct portography of a conventional rabbit portal system anatomy (anatomic variation type 1). The original portal vein (OPV) divides into the main portal vein (MPV) and caudate portal vein (CPV). The MPV then bifurcates into the right portal vein (RPV) and left portal vein (LPV). The left inferior portal vein (LIPV) originates from the LPV. Then the LPV bifurcates into segmental branches, the medial left portal vein (MLPV) and the lateral left portal vein (LLPV)
