Part Two: Describe the TWO blood vessel pathways needed to get food to the cells in your FINGERS from the LIVER and to the KIDNEYS from the LIVER, so that food can be obtained AND waste can be removed. Begin at the sinusoids of the liver (capillaries) and end at capillaries at the desired stopping place. Path from LIVER to FINGERS (so fingers can get food! That's why you ate in the first place!): Path from LIVER to KIDNEYS (so kidneys can get rid of waste liver has produced. Remember that beverage and the sandwich? There's probably preservatives and other molecules you absorb but can't use.):

Expert Solution
Step 1

The hepatic portal system is used by the majority of capillaries in the abdominal viscera to discharge their blood into sinusoids. It begins at the capillary beds of the abdominal viscera. Numerous capillaries (sinusoids) in the liver receive blood from the hepatic portal vein. It is created when the hepatic portal system's veins converge.
