Water-soluble nutrients stored in blood are routed directly from the small intestine through the portal vein to the liver before any other organ. The portal vein or hepatic portal vein is a blood vessel which carries blood from the GI tract, to the liver. The blood contains nutrients and toxins extracted from digested contents. The portal vein is not a true vein, since it conducts blood to capillary beds in the liver and not directly to the heart. It is the main component of the hepatic portal system.

avier stepped on a splinter while walking barefoot. The splinter pierced deep into his foot and caused a great amount of pain. W
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

On piercing his foot, the pain receptors called nociceptors, found in the skin, are activated. Nociceptors exist at the nerve endings of the primary afferent neurons. Signals travel along the first order neurons which have cell bodies within the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord. In the dorsal root ganglia, the signals are taken up at the synapse with the second order neurons which have cell bodies in the nuclei of the cranial nerves within the brainstem. These neurons ascend cranially in the spinothalamic tract to the thalamus. The third order neurons lie within the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus. They terminate at the somatosensory cortex where the signals are being processed and returned as a sensation of pain.
