Two questions:

Food is broken down in the stomach and small intestines.

Nutrients (plus other related stuff) is carried from the small intestines to the liver via the portal system.

Some nutrients pass directly from the liver to the veins (inferior vena cava),

then is carried by the blood to the rest of the body.

Other chemicals are modified by the liver into useful compounds, then are also dumped into the vena cava for distribution.
