In Order to Supply Nourishment to Liver Tissue,which Vessel Must

Question

In order to supply nourishment to liver tissue,which vessel must deliver blood to the organ?
A)hepatic artery
B)hepatic vein
C)hepatic portal vein
D)superior mesenteric artery
E)splenic artery

Accepted Answer

The hepatic artery is the vessel that delivers oxygenated blood to the liver tissue, which is critical for its function. The hepatic portal vein brings nutrient-rich blood from the digestive system to the liver, but it does not provide the necessary oxygenation. The hepatic vein carries deoxygenated blood away from the liver and does not supply nourishment to the tissue. The superior mesenteric artery and splenic artery also supply blood to the digestive system but do not directly deliver blood to the liver.
