Amino acids are absorbed into what circulation?
Portal.... (:
How the anatomical design of the hepatic circulation serves its function?
You have capillaries in the gastrointestinal tract. The capillaries unite to form the veins. You have again formation of the capillaries in the liver. Here the blood has to pass through the sinusoids to the central vein. The blood is accompanied by blood from the hepatic artery. The portal blood carry the nutrients. The hepatic artery carry the oxygen. The liver cells are metabolically active. They need both to perform the desired function. So you have very unique arrangement in the liver. So you have capillaries - veins - capillaries in portal circulation.
What are the three types of circulation?
the three types of Blood Circulation are.Portal circulationPulmonary (Lesser) circulationSystemic (Greater) circulation
What are the three kinds of blood circulation?
Pulmonary circulation = between the heart and the lungs Coronary circulation = the heart tissue's own blood supply Systematic circulation = between the heart and the rest of the body

Why do we have hepathic portal circulation?
Hepatic portal circulation is a human anatomy system of veins comprising tributaries. It is also known to be called portal venous system. It is for directing blood from parts of the gastrointestinal tract to the liver.
What is the Special circulation that collects blood from the organs of digestion and takes it to the liver is?
portal
What is the function of the portal vein?
To carry blood from the liver back into the general circulation.
What type of circulation takes place in the liver?
two types: "normal" via the hepatic artery and "portal" via the portal vein outflow is directly to the inferior vena-cava. "PORTAL" describes the flow of blood that has already bathed the intestines from the mesinteric artery
Are Renal circulation and portal circulation different and why?
no
In what way is a portal circulation a strange circulation?
The portal circulation is a "strange" circulation because it consists of veins draining into capillaries, which drain into veins again.
What is the function of the hepatic portal circulation?
Portal circulation involves the liver, and the portal vein (unlike most organs, where an artery carries blood TO the organ) carries blood TO the liver from the intestines. The liver helps to process nutrients, and enzymatically convert medication and drugs into both active and inactive by-products. The largest vessel in this system is the portal vein, followed by the hepatic veins, which carry blood from the liver to the inferior vena cava and back to the heart. The function of the hepatic portal circulation is to : collect absorbed nurtients for metabolic processing or storage.
What is the circulatory route called that runs from the digestive tract to the liver?
It is called the hepatic portal circulation. A portal system is a system of blood vessels that begin in capillaries and end in capillaries without passing through the heart. The hepatic portal system begins in the capillaries in the digestive tract wall and ends in the capillaries in the liver.
Explain what is portal circulation?
portal circulation refers to the circulation of the blood from the small intestine to the liver, via the portal vein. Blood flow to the liver is unique in that it receives oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood. Blood passes from branches of the portal vein through cavities between "plates" of hepetocytes called sinusoids. Blood also flows from branches of the hepatic artery and mixes into the sinusoids to supply the hepatocytes with oxygen. This mixture percolates through the sinusoids and collects in a central vein which drain into the hepatic vein. The hepatic vein subsequently drains into the inferior vena cava. =)
Is hypertension and portal hypertension the same?
No. Portal Hypertension is specific hypertension in the portal system while general hypertension is the primary hypertension. Portal hypertension happens when there is high pressure in the portal circulation or the circulation in the Liver and lower body organs.
What is the organ in portal circulation?
a curtain
