What is the first organ that gets nutrient-rich blood?
The liver
Name the blood vessel that carries digested food to the liver?
hepatic portal vein
Which organs main function is to filter and process the nutrient-rich blood delivered to it?
The liver is the organ that primarily functions to filter and process nutrient-rich blood delivered to it. It plays a vital role in metabolizing nutrients, detoxifying harmful substances, and producing important proteins for the body.
Which vein carries nutrient-rich blood from the digestive system to the liver?
The liver is connected to two blood vessels, one called the hepatic artery and the other the portal vein. The portal vein carries nutrients digested from the gastro intestinal track.See the related links for more information.
Vessel that transports nutrients to the liver?
An artery carries blood to the liver, not a vein. The hepatic artery.Maybe you meant to ask which vein receives nutrient-rich blood from the small intestine. That would be the superior mesenteric vein. But it doesn't go to the liver.
Can vein carry oxygen rich blood?
The only vein that normally carries oxygen rich blood is the pulmonary vein which carries freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart for distribution to the body. Ordinary veins can have oxygen poor blood but don't carry oxygen rich blood.
What vein brings blood to the liver from the intestines?
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.
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.
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.
What vein drains the spleen and part of the pancreas and stomach?
The splenic vein is responsible for draining the spleen, as well as parts of the pancreas and stomach. It collects blood from the spleen and runs alongside the pancreas, eventually merging with the superior mesenteric vein to form the hepatic portal vein. This vein then carries the nutrient-rich blood to the liver for processing.
Blood vessels associated with verterbrate liver?
The blood vessel that carries blood away from the liver is the portal vein. The portal vein carries blood from the small intestine and other digestive organs directly to the liver.Hope this helps guys and girls.
