Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the organs.
Blood is drained from the liver through the hepatic veins, specifically the right, left, and middle hepatic veins. These veins collect oxygen-depleted blood from the liver and transport it to the inferior vena cava, which then carries the blood back to the heart for re-oxygenation.

The vein that brings blood to the liver from the intestines is the hepatic portal vein. It collects nutrient-rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen, allowing the liver to process these nutrients before they enter the systemic circulation. This system is crucial for metabolic regulation and detoxification.
