Question

Why should the blood going away from stomach and intestines pass through liver and not directly to heart?

Answer 1

The liver detoxifies the blood, synthesises protines, and produces biochemicals for digestion.

Answer 2

Let me give this a try;

• The liver has got very vital roles in purifying the blood and removing of the unwanted components which may lead to grater effects when it access the   heart.
• Therefore the blood goes through the liver for purification purposes before being directed to the heart for oxygenation process to take place.
