The Hepatic Artery is responsible for around 25% of the blood flow through the Liver. The Portal Vein supplies 75% of the blood flow, carrying nutrient rich blood from the Gastrointestinal System. The Blood then passes through the Liver, via the Liver Microcirculation, finally entering the Hepatic Veins. The Hepatic Veins then drain into the Inferior Vena Cava.

Cantlie's Line: A Brief Overview
Cantlie's line represents one of the most significant anatomical landmarks in hepatobiliary surgery, serving as the principal plane for dividing the liver into functional left and right lobes. This surgical boundary has revolutionized our approach to hepatectomies and remains crucial for modern liver surgery, from traditional resections to advanced transplantation techniques.
