The correct path for nutrient-rich blood entering the liver through the hepatic portal vein is: hepatic portal vein - hepatic sinusoid - central vein - hepatic vein. This sequence correctly follows the flow of blood through the liver, from the portal vein into the sinusoids where nutrients are processed, then into the central vein, and finally out of the liver through the hepatic vein.
