The hepatic portal system is a unique vascular connection between the digestive tract (intestines) and the liver. It is a specialised network of blood vessels that carries nutrient-rich blood from the digestive organs to the liver before it is
distributed to the rest of the body. Nutrients from the digested food are absorbed by the small intestine and transported through the hepatic portal vein to the liver. The liver processes and metabolises these nutrients, detoxifies certain substances, and regulates glucose levels before releasing the processed blood into the general circulation.
