GLANDULAR—OF THE BILE. 267 that the blood, which enters the liver by the hepatic artery, fulfilsthree functions: — it nourishes the organ; supplies the excretoryducts with mucus; and, having fulfilled these objects, it becomesvenous; enters the branches of the portal veins, and not the radi-cles of the hepatic, as usually supposed, and contributes to thesecretion of bile. 2. The vena porta, which we have elsewhereseen to be the common trunk of all the veins of the digestiveorgans and of the spleen. It divides like an artery, its branchesaccompanying those of the hepatic artery. Where the vein lies inthe transverse fissure, it is of great size, and has hence been calledsinus venae portae. The possession of two vascular systems, con-taining blood,is peculiar,perhaps,to the liver, and has been the causeof some difference of opinion, with regard to the precise material —arterial or venous — from which the bile is derived.
