hepatic portal circulation
Yes
Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the organs.

THE LIVER
Blood to be processed by the liver enters via two sources: * the hepatic artery which delivers oxygenated blood from the general circulation * the portal vein from the small intestine (deoxygenated blood) Blood exits through the hepatic vein to the heart.
BILE
No, the majority of nutrients are not absorbed in the liver; they are primarily absorbed in the small intestine. After digestion, nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal walls. Once absorbed, these nutrients travel to the liver via the portal vein, where the liver processes and distributes them to the rest of the body.
The de oxygenated blood from the intestine is rich in nutrients as the small intestine is the organ that involves in absorption of the digested substances. The blood from intestine passes into the liver via the hepatic portal vein. This blood is transported through the liver as the liver regulates the quantity of substances in blood. Then the blood from the liver is taken back to the right atrium of the heart through the hepatic vein.
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.
The liver does not excrete body wastes directly. Instead, it processes toxins, drugs, and other waste products to make them easier to eliminate from the body through the kidneys in the form of urine or through feces via the digestive system. The liver plays a key role in detoxifying and breaking down these waste products.
The umbilical cord supplies blood to the baby. The umbilical cord is connected to the placenta and the mother's blood comes via the placenta through the umbilical cord to the baby. The baby receives oxygenated and nutrient rich blood via the umbilical cord.and de-oxygenated and nutrient depleted blood returns to the mother via the umbilical cord.
