The specific anatomical levels of the branches connected to the IVC are listed below: Hepatic veins (T8) Inferior phrenic vein (T8) Right suprarenal vein (L1) Renal veins (L1) Right gonadal vein (L2) Lumbar veins (L1-L5) Common iliac veins (L5) The IVC is one of the two primary veins by which blood is returned from the body to the right side of the heart. After circulating through the lower limbs, pelvis and abdomen, deoxygenated blood is returned to the right atrium of the heart by the inferior vena cava. 0:15 Location of IVC 0:58 Formation of IVC 1:18 Course of IVC 1:34 Branches/Tributaries of IVC 2:08 Function of IVC Want to test your knowledge on inferior vena cava and other major veins of the trunk?
