👉 The clerk fluid, also known as the hepatic portal fluid, is a specialized fluid that circulates through the liver's sinusoids. It forms when blood from the gastrointestinal tract, spleen, and pancreas enters the liver via the hepatic portal vein. This blood, rich in nutrients absorbed from digested food, mixes with various substances like bacteria and toxins before reaching the liver. The liver processes this fluid by filtering out harmful components, metabolizing nutrients, and storing essential substances like glycogen. The resulting fluid then exits the liver through the bile ducts and into the intestines, facilitating digestion and nutrient absorption.
