The liver is responsible for metabolism and storage of nutrients, processing toxins and drugs, synthesizing proteins and other compounds, and forming and secreting bile to aid in digestion. The portal vein is a blood vessel that brings absorbed digested nutrients from the intestines to the liver for further processing and storage. Blood percolates through the liver before entering into the body as a whole.","PeriodicalId":220753,"journal":{"name":"BSAVA Congress Proceedings 2020","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131898231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
