Hepatic Portal System

The hepatic portal system is a network of blood vessels that carries blood from the digestive organs, like the stomach and intestines, to the liver. It collects nutrients and other substances from food and delivers them to the liver for processing, filtering, and detoxification. This system ensures that nutrients enter the liver first before reaching the rest of the body, helping maintain proper blood composition and protecting the body from harmful substances. It plays a vital role in nutrient management and detoxification, supporting overall metabolic health.
