The Vessels That Receive Blood from the Ovaries or Testes

Question

The vessels that receive blood from the ovaries or testes are the
A) gonadal veins.
B) reproductive veins.
C) inferior vena cavae.
D) pelvic veins.
E) pubic veins.

Accepted Answer

The vessels that receive blood from the ovaries or testes are the gonadal veins. These veins then drain into the inferior vena cava, which is the main vein that carries blood from the lower half of the body back to the heart. The pelvic veins and pubic veins are also involved in the venous drainage of the reproductive organs, but they are not the primary vessels that receive blood from the ovaries or testes. The term "reproductive veins" is not a commonly used medical term.
