inferior mesentric artery carries blood to intestine and rectum.
mesenteric artery
Red Blood cell
portal vein
hepatic portal vein
Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the organs.
hepatic portal vein
Gastrosplenic Vein joins the Superior Mesenteric Vein and takes blood to Hepatic Portal Vein and delivers blood to liver.
for blood to reach the right atrium from the small intestines it follows this path: Small veins - portal vein- liver- inferior caval vein - right atrium The blood flows mostly northwards
hepatic portal vein
Blood passes through two veins from the liver to the heart. The hepatic vein takes blood from the liver to the vena cava, which completes the journey to the heart.
The liver receives the bulk of the water soluble nutrients.Little absorption occurs in the oral cavity, esophagus, and stomach. The small and large intestines are where most absorption takes place. The blood flows from the intestines back to the liver via the portal vein.
The walls of the small intestines, the portal vein, and the liver.
The de oxygenated blood from the intestine is rich in nutrients as the small intestine is the organ that involves in absorption of the digested substances. The blood from intestine passes into the liver via the hepatic portal vein. This blood is transported through the liver as the liver regulates the quantity of substances in blood. Then the blood from the liver is taken back to the right atrium of the heart through the hepatic vein.
