The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "A portal system is one in which", we need to analyze the options provided and understand what a portal system entails. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Portal System**: A portal system is a specific type of blood circulation where blood flows from one organ to another organ through a vein, without first passing through the heart. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: A vein starts from an organ and ends up in the heart. - This describes a typical venous return system, not a portal system. - **Option 2**: A vein starts from an organ and ends up in another organ. - This is characteristic of a portal system, as it involves blood moving from one organ (like the intestines) to another organ (like the liver) via a portal vein. - **Option 3**: A vein starts from the heart and ends up in the lungs. - This describes the pulmonary circulation, not a portal system. - **Option 4**: None of these. - This option is incorrect since we have identified a valid description in option 2. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option 2**: "A vein starts from an organ and ends up in another organ." ### Final Answer: A portal system is one in which a vein starts from an organ and ends up in another organ. ---
