Artery branch off the common hepatic artery; supplies blood to the stomach Branch off the abdominal aorta; supplies blood to the ovaries or testes. Branch off the abdominal aorta; supplies each kidney Branch off the celiac trunk that forms the hepatic, right gastric, and cystic arteries Drains the kidneys and flows into the inferior vena cava Vein that drains the reproductive organs Drains systemic blood from the liver and flows into the inferior vena cava Large vein that drains blood from areas inferior to the heart and empties into the right atrium A specialized circulatory path that diverts blood to the liver before continuing on to the hear Branch off the celiac trunk; supplies blood to the stomach A. Renal artery B. Gonadal artery C. Superior mesenteric artery D. Inferior mesenteric artery E. Left gastric artery F. Common hepatic artery G. Gonadal vein H. Inferior vena cava I. Renal vein J. Phrenic vein K. Right gastric artery L. Hepatic portal system M. Hepatic vein Match the letter to the correct answer

Which of the following correctly traces the circulatory pathway? (A) $\quad$ Superior vena cava $\rightarrow$ right atrium $\rightarrow$ right ventricle $\rightarrow$ pulmonary artery $\rightarrow$ lungs $\rightarrow$ pulmonary veins $\rightarrow$ left atrium $\rightarrow$ left ventricle $\rightarrow$ aorta (B) $\quad$ Superior vena cava $\rightarrow$ left atrium $\rightarrow$ left ventricle $\rightarrow$ pulmonary artery $\rightarrow$ lungs $\rightarrow$ pulmonary veins $\rightarrow$ right atrium $\rightarrow$ right ventricle $\rightarrow$ aorta (C) $\quad$ Aorta $\rightarrow$ right atrium $\rightarrow$ right ventricle $\rightarrow$ pulmonary artery $\rightarrow$ lungs $\rightarrow$ pulmonary veins $\rightarrow$ left atrium $\rightarrow$ left ventricle $\rightarrow$ superior vena cava (D) $\quad$ Superior vena cava $\rightarrow$ right atrium $\rightarrow$ right ventricle $\rightarrow$ pulmonary veins $\rightarrow$ lungs $\rightarrow$ pulmonary artery $\rightarrow$ left atrium $\rightarrow$ left ventricle $\rightarrow$ aorta
In the fetus, the ductus arteriosus carries blood from (a) the pulmonary artery to the pulmonary vein, (b) the liver to the inferior vena cava, (c) the right ventricle to the left ventricle, (d) the pulmonary trunk to the aorta,
