Answer:

d) to help with absorption to bring nutrient- and toxin-rich blood to the liver for processing

Explanation:

The highlighted vessel in the figure below is called "hepatic portal vein" (it is highlighted by the blue color.

The main function of this vein is to supply blood rich in nutrients and oxygen (which left the heart) for the liver to perform its processing functions. About two thirds of the blood that reaches the liver comes from the functioning of the portal vein. The rest of the blood necessary for the liver to function is transferred through the hepatic artery.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a structure composed of several proteins that associate with the centromere region of a chromosome and that can bind to spindle microtubules

Explanation:

Kinetochores have  vvery important role in the cell division-mitosis.

During the metaphase of mitosis, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores. Some of the microtubules bind to kinetochore (kinetochore microtubules) while other don’t: they connect with the microtubules from the opposite pole, stabilizing the spindle.

During the anaphase, kinetochore microtubules pull chromosomes toward poles, helping the sister chromatids separate from each other.
