What transports venous blood from the intestines to the liver?

Mesentery system
Peritoneal system
Portal system
Omentum system

Explanation

Answer - C - The portal system transports venous blood from the intestines to the liver. This secondary circulatory system transports intestinal blood to the liver for detoxification. Additionally, the liver stores excess nutrients, adds nutrients when there is a deficiency, and then sends the blood into the inferior vena cava for a return to the general circulation.
