What is the name of the vessel that delivers the nutrient rich blood from the stomach & small intestine to the liver?
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
1. The liver receives blood from two sources: the hepatic artery (carrying oxygenated blood) and the hepatic portal vein.
2. The hepatic portal vein is the vessel that collects nutrient-rich blood (absorbed from digestion) from the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, and spleen, and delivers it to the liver for processing before it enters the general circulation.
3. The hepatic arteries (left and right hepatic artery) supply oxygenated blood to the liver.
4. The hepatic vein drains deoxygenated, processed blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava.
