The liver receives blood from what artery?

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.


How do you differentiate between an artery and vein in the liver?

The hepatic artery in the liver enters from the bottom and is much smaller in diameter than the aorta or the portal vein that it lies above. The hepatic vein exits the liver from the top, carries blood through the top portion of the liver, and is larger in diameter than the hepatic artery.
