The liver receives blood from two sources: Oxygenated blood is supplied in the hepatic artery, a branch of the celiac artery from the abdominal aorta; and venous blood from the entire gastrointestinal tract is brought to the liver by the hepatic portal vein.
The blood leaves the liver via a central vein in each lobule, which drains in the hepatic vein.
