Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nutrients from digested food are absorbed by the small intestine and transported to the liver via the hepatic portal circulation. From there, the liver processes and distributes the nutrients to the rest of the body.

The abdominal aorta is involved in transporting oxygenated blood and nutrients to the rest of the body but not specifically to the liver.
