The small intestine has 3 parts: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The large intestine starts on the right with the ascending colon proceeds across the body as the transverse colon and then goes down on the left side of the body as the descending colon. The descending colon becomes the sigmoid colon. The rectum and anal canal follow.
The celiac trunk gives off the common hepatic artery, which branches into the proper hepatic artery and the gastroduodenal artery. The gastroduodenal artery gives off the supraduodenal, retroduodenal, anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries. These 4 arteries supply the duodenum.
The superior mesenteric artery branches into several different arteries. The anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries supply the duodenum. Intestinal arteries have a complex network of arcades that feed the jejunum and ileum. The ileocecal artery off the SMA gives off branches to the terminal ileum and the cecum. The right colic artery supplies the ascending colon.
The inferior mesenteric artery branches into the middle colic artery, which supplies the transverse colon; the left colic artery, which supplies the descending colon; the sigmoid artery, to the sigmoid colon; rectosigmoid artery, in between the rectum and the sigmoid colon; superior rectal artery, to the uppermost part of the rectum.

Why does the digestive system need nutrients?
The blood carries nutrients from the small intestine to all over the body. The villi in the small intestine allow nutrients from digested food to pass through the intestinal wall to the blood vessels. Then the blood carries the nutrients away.

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.
