Answer
After absorption from the intestine, oxygen, nutrients and toxic substances are being absorbed by the hepatocytes from the mixed blood as it flows slowly through the hepatic sinusoids
Work Step by Step
Arteria blood from the hepatic arteries, and hepatic portal blood from the digestive tract mix in the sinusoids of the liver. During absorption, and after nutrients from a meal are absorbed, the nutrient rich hepatoportal blood and the oxygen rich blood ( from the hepatic arteries) mix in the hepatic sinusoids. Oxygen, nutrients and toxins are removed by the hepatocytes. Kupffer cells phagocytize microorganisms, debris and old blood cells.
