∙ 10y agoBlood gets to the two ways. There is what we call nutritional blood supply, which is ensured by proper hepatic artery (branching off common hepatic artery, which is a branch of coeliac artery (celiac trunk). Then there is a portal circuit, e.g. hepatic portal vein, which brings blood rich in nutrients from gastrointestinal organs (e.g. intestines, stomach, etc.) and spleen to the liver, where the nutrients are removed from the blood. The third vessel is inferior vena cava, where the "nutrient" free blood flows to get to the heart, lungs and back to the body.
