hepatic portal vein
Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the organs.
Absorbed nutrients from the intestines travel to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. This vein carries blood rich in nutrients from the intestines directly to the liver for processing and storage. Once in the liver, the nutrients are metabolized and distributed to the rest of the body as needed.
hepatic portal vein
Gastrosplenic Vein joins the Superior Mesenteric Vein and takes blood to Hepatic Portal Vein and delivers blood to liver.
for blood to reach the right atrium from the small intestines it follows this path: Small veins - portal vein- liver- inferior caval vein - right atrium The blood flows mostly northwards
The portal vein is a blood vessel that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. It plays a crucial role in delivering nutrients and toxins absorbed from the intestines to the liver for processing.
hepatic portal vein
Blood passes through two veins from the liver to the heart. The hepatic vein takes blood from the liver to the vena cava, which completes the journey to the heart.
The liver receives the bulk of the water soluble nutrients.Little absorption occurs in the oral cavity, esophagus, and stomach. The small and large intestines are where most absorption takes place. The blood flows from the intestines back to the liver via the portal vein.
