Yes, the liver receives both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. It obtains oxygenated blood from the hepatic artery, which supplies oxygen to liver tissues. Additionally, deoxygenated blood comes from the portal vein, carrying nutrients and toxins from the digestive organs. This dual blood supply is crucial for the liver's functions in metabolism and detoxification.
What else can I help you with?
What blood vessel carries blood from the intestine to the liver and is it oxygenated or deoxygenated?

What diagnosis liver dark red and congested?
i think it is because of rich supply of deoxygenated blood of the venus return form the portal veins and oxygenated blood from the portal arterioles .
What does deoxygenated blood contain?

Which blood vessel takes oxygenated blood away from the heart?
The blood vessel that carries out this task is called the Hepatic Portal Vein
Where does deoxygenated venous blood leaves the liver through?

Veins that lead to the liver?
there are two types of vessels in our body to circulate blood . they are1 arteries - collect the deoxygenated, impure blood from all parts o of the body to theheart (except pulmonary artery which carry oxygenated pure bblood from the lungs to the heart)2veins-- carry pure and oxygenated blood from the heart to various parts of the body(except pulmonary vein which carry the impure deoxygenated impure blood from the heart to the lungs)hencehepatic veins are the veins which carries the impure ,deoxygenated blood, collecting from the liver by the hepatic venules to the heart to purify the blood with oxygen.
What parts of the heart carry deoxygenated blood?
Simple answer: Veins Complex answer: a series of blood vessels (excluding arteries) carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. Where the blood is then passed through an oxygenating process with the lungs. Another answer: pressure caused by the beating of the 4 chamber heart.
Which structure in the liver transports oxygen poor blood out of the liver?

It receives blood from two (2) sourcesThe Hepatic Artery- it delivers oxygenated blood from the general circulationThe Hepatic Portal Vein-it carries deoxygenated blood containing nutrients from the small intestine.
