The hepatic portal circulation functions to transport nutrient-rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver for processing, detoxification, and storage of nutrients.

This unique arrangement allows the liver to regulate and modify substances absorbed from the digestive tract before they enter the systemic circulation.
