C)the hepatic artery.
D)the hepatic portal vein.
E)a hepatic triad contains branches of all of these vessels.

Accepted Answer

The hepatic triad contains branches of the hepatic artery, the hepatic portal vein, and a bile ductule, but not the hepatic vein. The hepatic vein is responsible for draining blood from the liver, while the other vessels in the triad are responsible for delivering nutrients, oxygen, and bile to the liver or removing waste products from it.
