What are the names of the two veins that carry nutrient-rich blood from the digestive organs to the liver for processing?
hepatic portal and portal veins
Nutrients from the digestive tract enter from what veins?
Hepatic portal system (vein)
What does The hepatic portal vein empties into?
Inferior mesenteric, left gastric, and cystic veins.
What is the blood vessel which carries from intestine to the liver?
The liver is the end of the hepatic portal system, which involves a series of veins that stretch from various organs of the gastrointestinal tract. Most of this material is either absorbed water, chyle, or other digested materials, including sugar. The hepatic portal vein is the final vein before these materials from the GI tract enter the liver.
Which vessel contains blood with the highest amino acid content after a meal?
The answer is the hepatic portal vein,Unlike most veins, the hepatic portal vein does not drain into the heart. Rather, it is part of a portal venous system that delivers venous blood into another capillary system, namely the hepatic sinusoids of the liver. The hepatic portal vein (often simply portal vein) is a vein in the abdominal cavity that drains blood from the gastrointestinal tract
Where is the hepatic-portal circulation situated?
between the left gastric and lienal The portal vein(vena portæ) is about 8 cm. in length, and is formed at the level of the second lumbar vertebra by the junction of the superior mesenteric and lienal veins, the union of these veins taking place in front of the inferior vena cava and behind the neck of the pancreas. It passes upward behind the superior part of the duodenum and then ascends in the right border of the lesser omentum to the right extremity of the porta hepatis, where it divides into a right and a left branch, which accompany the corresponding branches of the hepatic artery into the substance of the liver. In the lesser omentum it is placed behind and between the common bile duct and the hepatic artery, the former lying to the right of the latter. It is surrounded by the hepatic plexus of nerves, and is accompanied by numerous lymphatic vessels and some lymph glands.
A vein that sends blood to hepatic capillaries?
Veins do not send blood to capillaries. They receive blood from capillaries. Arteries send blood to capillaries, in this case, specifically, hepatic arterioles.
Why do we have hepathic portal circulation?
