Explanation

The liver receives blood from two main sources: oxygen-rich blood from the hepatic artery and nutrient-rich, deoxygenated blood from the hepatic portal vein. The hepatic portal vein carries blood mainly from the intestines, along with contributions from the stomach and other digestive organs, delivering absorbed nutrients directly to the liver for processing.
